Description: Subscribe to Beggars Arkive Channel ➤ bit.ly/2ELeyze First aired on 28th January 1987 @CULTV The Old Grey Whistle Test (sometimes abbreviated to Whistle Test or OGWT) is a British television music show. The show was devised by BBC producer Rowan Ayers, commissioned by David Attenborough[1] and aired on BBC2 from 1971 to 1988. It took over the BBC2 late-night slot from Disco 2, which ran between September 1970 and July 1971, while continuing to feature non-chart music. The original producer, involved in an executive capacity throughout[2] the show's entire history, was Michael Appleton. According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys – doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test. - Wikki Subscribe to The Arkive ➤ bit.ly/2ELeyze Beggars Banquet Archive ➤ bit.ly/2VBHdvZ 21 of the Arkive's favourite videos ➤ bit.ly/2TcPYAf Follow us on social media: Facebook: facebook.com/BeggarsArchive Instagram: instagram.com/Beggars_arkive Twitter: twitter.com/beggarsarchive Website: archive.beggars.com
