Yours, Always, Vera

on BBC Radio 2

The second day of Christmas with Vera Lynn
That hackneyed old phrase 'ever-popular' gets used fairly indiscriminately in the world of show business - but surely for Vera Lynn it is completely justified, to have been the Forces Sweetheart in the 1940s, and to be a much-loved star, with her own television show, in 1969 seems qualification enough. This afternoon she sings - just for you - songs which she made (and which have also helped to make her) famous, and introduces favourite entertainers from theatre, cabaret, and television: Rolf Harris
Derek Nimmo Morgan-James with the RADIO SHOW BAND conductor MALCOLM LOCKYER Script by GENE CROWLEY
Special material, MYLES RUDGE Produced by TRAFFORD WHITELOCK
(Derek Nimmo is in ' Charlie Girl ' at the Adelphi Theatre. London)
