Daylight Robbery or The Thief in the Night

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Radio's finest burlesque team take the air again with another wildly improbable, wildly funny rag in which regulation hero, villain, heroine and squire perform the regulation inanities round and about the regulation necklace. Listeners to the Melluish Brothers' previous shows of this type - Only a Mill Girl, Beaten at the Post, The King's Double - will need no inducement to hear their latest. Strangers to the team are warned to expect a high speed show, bristling with the broader kind of humour, and sauced with melody. Nervous listeners to this 'burglaresque' are advised by the authors to remove their spectacles.
