View in Radio Times

A weekly gathering of famous folk
The regulars include:
The Master of Ceremonies
Richard Goolden as Old Ebenezer, the night watchman, who has a dramatic story to tell
The Court of Melody
Tunes are on trial and the ear is evidence and the guest of the week
Weekly meetings organised by Gladys and Clay Keyes , and presented by Eric Spear
Listeners will look forward again tonight to Old Ebenezer's story and will be guessing once more the identity of the well-known artist who plays the leading part in its dramatisation. And they will laugh once more at the ever-popular feature, ' Beat the Band '. What will be the questions tonight, and with what tunes will the band answer them ? And how many pennies in forfeit will be thrown into the drum towards the Spitfire Fund ?
