on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

The airs supplied by Billy Cotton and his Band with Gwen Lewis
The disgraces being Maurice Denham and Jack Train
The programme presented by Ronald Waldman

Don't fail to listen to this programme. You will hear dance numbers played by Billy Cotton and his Band, with interruptions by Maurice Denham and Jack Train -
the Disgraces. These two (two of the most versatile artists in the Variety Repertory Company) will play the parts of workmen who want to move this and that whenever something important is being broadcast. They will be constantly expelled from the studio, only to come back a moment later. To them broadcasting to millions of people is of no importance compared with their own duties.
An interesting feature will be a sketch called Two's a Crowd. It has nine or ten characters, played by Denham and Train between them.
