The programme devised by Sonny Miller and produced by Max Kester
At the end of their last broadcast the Legionnaires were told that they were all to meet at the Legion headquarters at Sousse for an evening's revelry. Tonight listeners will meet that cheerful crowd when they have something really to be cheery about.
For once the Legionnaires are not fading out on their signature tune. The broadcast will conclude with the singing of a Christmas anthem specially written for the show by Max Kester and Max Saunders.
