Presented by Leslie Perowne
While it is probably true that nine songs out of ten are love songs, there remains the other tenth to include songs on other subjects. Some of the best songs ever written have been ' social' songs-songs about work, about play, about snobs, and about earning a living.
. Leslie Perowne has been busy getting together some of the best of these songs. Some of them are grave, while others are gay-all of them reflect some aspect or other of social life. On the one hand you will hear Norman Long singing ' The Council schools are good enough for me' and on the other that brilliant little artist Molly Picon singing her ' Song of the Tenement '

by Stefan Lorant
Cast
The action starts in Germany in 1933 Adaptation and production by Stephen Potter
For six months after his arrest in 1933 Stefan Lorant, then editor of a Munich weekly paper, was subjected to all the rigours of prison life in Nazi Germany. His paper was impartial but not anti-Nazi, and the reasons for his arrest were wholly inexplicable to him.
Tonight you will hear dramatised the story that he told in his successful book ' I was Hitler's prisoner '. Lorant wrote his story with underemphasis rather than over-emphasis, and it was certainly the lack of melodramatics that not only made it a best-seller, but underlined the horrors of German prison life.
