Listeners will welcome a new radio play by the author of Uncle Arthur, considered by many the most distinctive and original radio play of 1937. Again the most appealing character is a girl. But this time she is not waiting for something to happen, but hoping that something never will.
'The engines - I know 'em all, all three of 'em... The coaches - proper musty smell they've got...
I've shut the doors ever since I was a little thing... Yes, I love our railway; and that's why I hate young Jake.'
Jake is her brother-in-law; drives the Dunworthy bus and stands for progress. He knows the fifty-year-old railway is doomed, and doesn't forget to rub it in. It closes down; Ethel leaves school; and out of her small wages and tips as a waitress at a road-house buys one of the engines for a pound. Out of that situation Pudney gets as many laughs as he got with Uncle Arthur.
Once again special organ music themes have been composed by Jack Clarke, will be played by Reginald Foort, and recorded in advance. Uncle Arthur, by the way, has been produced by NBC in America and is likely to be revived there. Ethel appeared as a short story in the January number of The London Mercury. Pudney likes writing like that. A story first, a radio play afterwards. He says that that method shows him just what to do.
