A Queer Customer by ALFRED BROOKS. Read by Ronald Harvi 'Sophie Berensky was a fat, ugly woman who indulged me. Whenever she waddled into the bank. her doughy face like a steamed pudding, the news went swiftly round: " Sophie's in! and everybody took cover because Sophie was always a full morning's or afternoon's work, she was so vague about what she wanted. But it was no use my trying to get out of the way; somebody had given her my name and I was saddled with her.' Producer HERBERT SMITH BBC Manchester

James Cameron presents a personal account of Britain in the postwar years in ten programmes covering 1945-56.
9: 'I think that the freer economy we introduced gave such satisfaction that we could well afford to go ahead.' R. A. BUTLER In 1954 it wasn't only our economy which was going ahead. The Tory government was promising independence to the colonies and Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile. But by 1955 when Churchill finally resigned. Eden faced a more troubled situation. Attlee, too, finally resigned and created a crisis within the Labour Party. BBC Television lost its monopoly but Radio kept its end up with drama in The Archers and the immortal Goon Show
