Scene: The main deck of the Betty Martin
The BBC Revue Orchestra, leader Boris Pecker , conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
Once again listeners are to hear one of the best of the many first-rate burlesques by the Melluish Brothers. It was generally conceded that All at Sea, which made its positively first appearance in any shape or form in the RADIO TIMES, was one of the funniest things ever published in it. The occasion was the Whitsun number six years ago.
Suitably expanded and with new lyrics from time to time, it has become almost a perennial on the air.
