Tickling Tunes: a History of Comic Song

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

3/4. Love, Smut and a Bit of What You Fancy. Comedian and actor Roy Hudd indulges in a collection of comic songs relating to the less respectable of We activities. He shows how society's changing attitudes have caused the risque song to alternate between the mainstream and the covert, and how the entire course of a relationship can be traced by means of the comic song. Producer Karl Phillips
