Three programmes written and presented by George Mikes

In the 20s 'an obscure West 44th Street hostelry' became the most famous meeting place in New York for that city's wits, writers and actors. The Round Table Set, Alexander Woollcott, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and Ross of The New Yorker, sat and glittered in the south-west corner of the dining-room. Today The Algonquin is still a favoured and favourite hotel because of its past associations and also because of its present hospitality and comfort.
