British actress and radio presenter Daphne Oxenford (1919-2012). Her combo was Daphne Margaret, and she had daughters named Kate and Sophie. She was best-known for presenting the children's programme "Listen With Mother" - and the obituary in The Guardian newspaper says that although there were other presenters she was the most popular, partly owing to her name: 'She always treasured the quote of the little boy who said: "I like stories on the wireless because the pictures are better." There were other presenters of the programme – Julia Lang, Dorothy Smith and Eileen Browne (who sang the nursery rhymes with George Dixon) – but the euphony of Daphne Oxenford's name, and her mellow, flawless vocal delivery made her the main attraction.'Daphne Heard (1904-83) was also a British actress. Here full combo was Delia Phyllis Daphne. She became generally well-known as tycoon Richard de Vere's Czech mother in the popular sit-com "To The Manor Born".
