Written and produced by Howard Thomas
Here is a bright idea, worthy of the brain of Howard Thomas who has devised so many interesting and ingenious radio programmes, the idea being briefly that nice girls in programmes have been overdone, and so he proposes to give a chance to the shady ones.
Howard Thomas, who comes from Manchester, devised and wrote the 'Man Behind the Melodies' series, the first of which was broadcast by Herman Darewski - himself a Manchester man. But probably Howard Thomas's most famous series was
'Showmen of England' which featured the late Bertram Mills, C.B. Cochran, and many another who had the flair for appealing to the public taste.
