On New Year's Eve, 1937, Thomas Woodrooffe was to be seen with a microphone outside St. Paul's Cathedral, and for the first time strangers were interviewed in the street and their New Year resolutions broadcast to the world at large.
The idea proved so popular that it was introduced in ' In Town
Tonight ' in October, 1938, with Michael Standing as interviewer taking a microphone to Piccadilly Circus. This feature ' Standing on the Corner ' soon became as popular as any broadcast programme. The last interviews of the kind Standing carried out were even more ambitious. From a position outside St. George's Hall he interviewed strangers in various provincial towns. Now he is to fire his questions at various radio stars in Variety Town, no doubt with amusing results.
