Beachcomber.... by the Way

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Starring with Patricia Routledge and John Sessions as a host of other characters.
Another foray into the world of the great J. B. Morton , author of the celebrated Beachcomber column.
This week: Lord
Shortcake takes up amateur dramatics, Captain Foulenough takes us back to his unsavoury childhood, cricket is taken too seriously, and Prodnose is escorted to the graveyard in the hope that he will take the hint.
