I'll be very good.

I can try and remember.

And when it went to air, when it got broadcast, we all drove up to his grandma's house and listened to it around the radio like they would have back in the 1950s and heard the story.

And that's when Jesse discovered that his grandparents, Leslie and Sidney Piddington, one time had an audience of 20 million people.

Yeah, yeah.

Basically, the population of Australia was listening to my grandparents back in the 1950s.

No way.

I was like, yeah, why don't I know this?

This is in my family and why don't I know it?

But he says it was really when he sat down and listened to the original broadcasts, what's left of them.

Two hours of old BBC recordings that survive today because my grandparents pirated them from the BBC back in 1950.

He says it wasn't until he heard those tapes that I went, wow.

You should now tell us this story.

Tell us what you heard that made you go, wow.

Well... You hear this very dramatic theme song.

And this old BBC voice comes onto the tape and says... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

And the music goes up.

All very, very dramatic.

And then the narrator sets the scene for you.
