View in Radio Times

A comedy with music from the original play ' Nothing but the Truth'
Lyrics by R. P. Weston and Bert Lee. Music by Jack Waller and Joseph Tunbridge. Radio adaptation by Martyn C. Webster
Cast
Narrator, Geoffrey Wincott
The Revue Chorus, the BBC Variety Orchestra, leader Frank Cantell , conductor Charles Shadwell
Production by Martyn C. Webster
At long last the BBC has secured the broadcasting rights of this famous stage comedy.
A wager that involves speaking nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours might seem fairly easy to win, but when not even ' white ' lies are permitted, the task begins to be formidable. This is, however, the undertaking that confronts the hero of this uproarious series of episodes, and the difficulty of it may be well imagined when it is explained that this hero is junior partner in a firm of land agents who want to sell a property on the top of a crumbling sea cliff.
