An inconsequent revue, written by Loftus Wigram, with music by Eric Spear
Cast: Dick Francis, Vera Lennox, Horace Percival, Jacques Brown, Helen Clare, Geoffrey Wincott, Ronnie Hill, and the BBC Variety Orchestra, conducted by Charles Shadwell. Production by Roy Speer
The scene is a studio during the first rehearsal of a Variety programme
Though everything will be exaggerated and burlesqued, listeners should get a good idea of what a rehearsal for a radio musical comedy involves. The cast will sit round the studio reading through their scripts; the author will be present, agonised by the alterations made in his script; the composer will tear his hair as the conductor changes his score; while the producer, stop-watch in hand, will try to appease a temperamental cast as he reduces an hour's programme to one of thirty minutes.

Having discovered before the war that there was a similarity between the work that was being done in England by Reginald Redman and that accomplished by Paul Sacher in Basle, the BBC arranged to exchange representative programmes.
Listeners will remember that on March I Switzerland broadcast to us the first performance of Honegger's Dance of Death. Tonight we repeat the compliment with the first performance of Alan Rawsthorne 's cantata Kubla Khan , which was specially written for' the occasion.
