on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

John Watt introduces a kaleidoscope of recollections and revivals with the BBC Chorus and Revue Orchestra, conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
Produced by Gordon Crier
Now war is upon us, which things belonging to peacetime do we miss most ? Some will say cricket, rugger, daily race-meetings, with newsboys crying: ' Big race winner! ' round carefree streets. Others will say lights, silk stockings, chocolates, theatres. And yet again others, charabanc rides into the country on Bank Holidays, communication with friends abroad, crumpets swimming in butter, and so on. Things like this will be touched on in this new and diverting series, which will be broadcast every fortnight, and will also include scenes from plays,songs from popular shows, short talks-anything and everything in fact to make us remember the days when life was happier.
