on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

Story for motherly motorists, by John Ein. Produced by John Cheatle

Many a car-owner of better days, regretting the fading but still loyal efficiency of a long-loved roadster, must have wished that so staunch a friend couli be sire to a progeny of other cars who would all take after father and serve their owner for his lifetime I However, it requires the skill of the radio technician rather than the wishful thinking of the ordinary man to bring such a state of things about. In short, this radio play is the romantic story of how two motor cars become, miraculously, the parents of a baby car.

'Pipples', the baby car, however, is no ordinary vehicle, but grows into a super-machine, so full of useful tricks anu unique appliances that the life of the owner becomes one of perpetual delight.
