Here is a programme that will give certain radio personalities a chance to haul down from shelf and cupboard compositions of theirs that have never been broadcast, and in certain cases never performed at all. Harry Pepper, for example, has written an operetta that has never come across the footlights, and a song from this will be a feature of the programme. Ernest Dudley has foraged from his attic an un-performed sketch which includes a Chinese character named Foo. This Oriental was originally to be the figure round which the 'Mr. Walker Wants to Know' series was to be built. Later on, however, it was decided to have another form of 'junk man'! Foo, who is bland, fifty, and philosophical, has broadcast twice before once in 'Mr. Walker Wants to Know' and once in 'Meek's Antiques'.
