with Roy Rich
This evening ' Record Time ' launches out on the third instalment of its career. It was first broadcast in the spring of 1940, and throughout its first and second series drew to itself an increasing number of listeners in general and ' subscribers in particular. ' Record Time has been the means of linking hundreds of people separated by the war, and has- also provided for the general listener a first-rate half-hour of music. The new series is broadcast at a time when the Forces programme is beamed to listeners in the Middle East, and will in consequence once more reach thousands of the Forces overseas. In this new series messages and requests will be broadcast only between people in this country and those from whom they are separated overseas.
