Wherever the ticker-tapes run from the machines in great newspaper offices the phrase ' now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party ' is known-it is each day's trial message on the tape.
The theme of this broadcast is time, and the time involved is twenty minutes before a newspaper goes to press. The hero of the story, Bill Duncan , has just this period in which to get his story. There is some sticky business, too, and the programme is very much in the present tense.
