By P. G. Wodehouse

Listeners have, in the course of this had opportunities of hearing typical broadcast programmes compiled according to the ideas of such different types of celebrity as, for instance, Mr. George Grossmith, Mr. Patsy Hendren, Mr. Phil Scott and Mr. J.C. Squire. To-night they will get yet another angle on 'the ideal programme,' when they hear what one of our most original humorists thinks it should be. Mr. Wodehouse is the creator of 'Archie,' the well-dressed young man whose self-assurance is rivalled only by his incompetence, but who is endowed with the most unwarranted good luck; of 'Jeeves,' the manservant in a million; of 'Ukridge,' the unexpected; of 'Mike' and 'Psmith,' and many more, and of a style of humorous writing that his many imitators have never been able to do quite so successfully as he does it himself.
