Twice Brightly: written and read by Harry Secombe abridged by NIGEL LAMBERT
Larry Gower. Welsh, tubby and myopic, is demobbed in 1946 and sets out to take the music-hall by storm. Our budding comedian's first professional week brings him in contact with strippers, hoofers, rival comedians, gentlemen in drag, a jealous lion-tamer and a woman scorned. In fact, it's a laugh a line in this ever-so-slightly autobiographical first novel by Secombe of the Goons, read by the man himself. i First of 15 instalments) Producer JOHN CARDY
Another chance this week to hear Harry Secombe in Encore the Goons: Friday 6.15 pm
