A trivial travelogue
Sketches by Reginald Beckwith. Lyrics by Nicholas Phipps. Music by Geoffrey Wright
Produced by Moultrie R. Kelsall
This evening Moultrie Kelsall is producing for sound broadcasting another of the revues which in happier days he presented from Alexandra Palace for television viewers. Going Places, with its book by Reginald Beckwith, lyrics by Nicholas Phipps and music by Geoffrey Wright , introduces listeners to the work of a team who collaborated to create the original Gate Revue, one of the recent successes of the London stage. The script is sophisticated and highly frivolous, being described as a trivial travelogue in which a harassed compere vainly endeavours to describe the beauties of Tahiti, but is constantly interrupted by inconsequential characters in scenes and songs of equal irrelevance.
