In the year of Donald Swann's death, John Amis presents an affectionate look back at the songwriting and performing partnership of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann.

The programme features a compilation of recently discovered archive recordings of performances given on Broadway, where audiences flocked to hear their gentle mockery of English and American foibles. At their most famous in the 50s for their witty and eccentric songs, they performed in hit West End shows like At the Drop of a Hat. Celebrated for their hippos wallowing in "mud, mud, glorious mud", their musical menagerie also included songs about ostriches and gnus, warthogs and armadillos.
