Passers-by tell Thomas Woodrooffe their good resolutions for 1938
Broadcast from a London street
This type of programme, although well known and popular in America, is something new for British listeners. It is an experiment; and there seemed no better time to start one of the kind than New Year's Eve, when everybody's thoughts are upon much the same thing.
Thomas Woodrooffe is to go out into the London streets with a microphone and ask various types of Londoners to tell listeners the resolutions they intend not to break. The messenger boy, the postman, the commissionaire-it may be any of these ; it may be the clerk who looks like the managing director, or the millionaire who has forgotten to buy a new coat. Whoever it is, the broadcast should be exciting, for it will have its element of surprise and conjure up London on one of the most characteristic days of the year.
