40 years ago today Bahamians tuned into their radio sets and listened to a fictional version of their lives for the first time. This year we are hoping to have a lot of wonderful activities to commemorate this milestone. There will be lots more to come!
In late March the two original writers of the Fergusons of Farm Road, Jeanne Thompson and Sonia Mills, met in Jamaica. Here is the photographic evidence of the occasion.
Welcome to the Fergusons of Farm Road dot com. This site will be the home of the Fergusons radio show on the internet, both the recovered scripts and some of the recently found audio recordings. It will provide the latest information on the world of the Fergusons and introduce this fictional Bahamian family to a new generation.
This year, 2010, is particularly eventful, as May will mark the 40th Anniversary of the show’s inaugural broadcast.
A lot is being planned for this year’s celebrations. We will let you in on the news as soon as it becomes available. Subscribe to our RSS feed for up to the minute information.
