The Dartford march, which Reginald New is broadcasting by request, was composed by him in 1938-half-way through his time of four years as organist at the State Cinema, Dartford. Four thousand of his followers there formed themselves into a fan club, and this march became its signature tune, preceding and closing its social functions, especially dances.
The war came, and many of the fans donned uniform in the Royal West Kents. Hence the Dartford march, with the inevitable addition of an Army lyric, became a soldiers' marching tune, sung by many who came back from Dunkirk.

I-Snooker simplified by Joe Davis , World Champion 1927-
1941
Lesson 2-How to pot
Joe Davis , world's snooker champion from 1927 to 1941, is providing a peak-interest radio series by giving snooker lessons (this is the second) to Raymond Glendenning , who actually practises the shots while the broadcast goes on, and does so with a cue he had specially made for him for what the millions of snooker players throughout the country would call the chance of a life-time.
In a Radio Times article last week the great Joe told listeners all about snooker which has swept the country in recent years and has made the centuries-old parent game of billiards almost a back number.
