This talk was originally announced for last Friday at 10.45. The reason for the postponement goes back to February 23, when a talk in this series was cancelled to make room for the commentary on the march of the men of H.M.S. Ajax and H.M.S. Exeter from Waterloo to the Guild-hall. The talk by a woman surgeon, fixed for that date, was postponed for a week, causing the further postponement of the following talk until today.

in 'CROOKS' TOUR'
An adventure in six parts by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat from the original story by John Watt and Max Kester
Music by Kenneth Leslie-Smith
Lyrics by Max Kester
Part 3-' Crime marches on! ' Cast in order of speaking
Hugo Rignold and his Orchestra
Production by Vernon Harris
Here is the third instalment of this thrilling serial which is notable for two facts: Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford play the parts of the two Englishmen who are always interested in cricket though their skins are in danger-parts they created in the successful film The Lady Vanishes and have reproduced in one recently shot-Gestapo. The other notable fact is that the radio script has been written by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat , who wrote the scripts of both the* above films.
In this instalment we shall hear our heroes flying from Constantinople to Budapest, where they get involved in further complications. We shall meet ' La Palermo ' played by Greta Gynt , and be thrilled to the end.
