In 1948 Flanders and Swann began writing comedy songs for Laurier Lister 's revues, performed by artists such as Max Adrian , Joyce Grenfell , Diana Churchill. Then in 1957 they came to the attention of the general public by appearing on stage in their two-man show At the Drop of a Hat. Scheduled to run for a limited three-week season, this proved such a hit that, together with its successor At the Drop of Another Hat, it ran in London, on Broadway and around the world for nearly 14 years.
This is a re-broadcast in tribute to the late Michael Flanders of a programme first heard in 1973. Producer JOHN DYAS
