A new kind of spelling bee
Programme compered by Felix Felton

Members of the Forces are this afternoon to take part in a new version of an old parlour game. There are six a side, and each in turn puts in a batsman, who scores a run for each word which he spells correctly. When he is caught out, the opposite side send their first man in to face the bowling, and so on alternately. There are twelve wickets to fall in twenty minutes - but it's a 'Sticky Wicket.'

A non-stop review of popular melodies through the years with Geraldo and his Concert Orchestra, Margaret Eaves, Mervyn Saunders, Dorothy Carless, Len Camber, and the Geraldo Chorus

'Dancing Through' goes from strength to strength, and there seems no limit to the number of tunes that Geraldo can get into the hour. Each broadcast seems to break a record. Once again tonight he comes to the microphone, his band and his, vocalists rehearsed and ready to play and sing, to give numbers you have heard and numbers you will want to hear again once you have heard them.
