What were we laughing at, back in 1976?

Roy Hudd pokes fun at the resignation of Harold Wilson as Prime Minister, female impersonator Danny La Rue's new mansion - plus revealing extracts from the diary of future PM, Maggie Thatcher.

Roy Hudd's topical sketch show ran for 26 years on BBC Radio 2 between 1975 and 2001.

With Janet Brown and Chris Emmett.

The writing team for this episode includes David Renwick (One Foot in The Grave) and John Lloyd (Blackadder & Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy).

Originally the idea of then BBC radio producer Simon Brett, the show was a lunchtime fixture at the old BBC Paris Theatre in London. Shows were always over-recorded and edited down to time for transmission.

Music by The Nic Rowley Trio.

Producer: John Lloyd

First heard on Radio 2 in 1 March 1976. Show less
