Those Musical Years with Lorna Dallas
Kenneth Bowen and the LONDON THEATRE ORCHESTRA conducted by ALEXANDER FARIS 1926 and 1996 1926 - the year of the General Strike
1966 - when England won the World Cup at Wembley
1926 - when the country marvelled at the 28.000-mile flight to Australia and back by Alan Cob -ham, while in contrast 1966 saw a whole flock of satellites and spacecraft launched by America and Russia.
Piccadilly Circus became a roundabout in 1926. Bernard Shaw won the Nobel Prize for literature and A. A. Milne wrote Winnie the Pooh. In 1966 the Beatles were riding high and the latest .lames Bond epic was Thunder-ball. Musically we bridge a 40-year gap between Bird Songs at Eventide and Michelle.

The story of radio comedy in 11 parts

Bernard Cribbins finds that not all the laughs were written down but came unheralded and often uncensored in panel games and quizzes. He tracks the ad-libs from 20 Questions to I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, dropping in on Have-a-Go, Does the Team Think? and My Word as well.
