Here is a third edition of ' London Pie', with a Coronation flavour. Like the second edition broadcast in February, it is to be heard by listeners at home as well as those in the Empire to whom it is primarily broadcast. Among the amusing items is a sketch in which a Lancashire man up in London for the Coronation gets his hair cut, another is written round a canteen at a London garage where the busmen meet, and there is a skit on Coronation crowds. ' London Pie ' is so topical, witty, tuneful, and full of good numbers, that this third edition should deserve a fourth.
