The first song banned by the BBC

With my little stick of Blackpool rock 😮🍊⚽👍

Plenty of references to Johnny Remember Me on the internet, that was 1961 though so I'm thinking you are probably right.

You can't beat a bit of George Formby.

I am leaning on a lamppost on the corner of the street............
 
Wasn’t “When I’m cleaning windows” by George Formby also frowned upon.

Hard to believe that songs like “ Tell Laura I love her” ( too disturbing) , “ Hundred pounds of clay ( Religious views) were banned. Think “ Leader of the pack” was too.

Must have been some boring old farts around then.
