Listeners may remember his recent contribution to the magazine programme ' In Britain Now ', when he told of the restoration of Lamb's house in Leith, the dwelling to which Mary Queen of Scots was taken on her arrival from France in 1561 before she made her official entrance to the capital city of Edinburgh.

Leader, J. Mouland Begbie
Conductor, Ian Whyte
Berlioz's brilliant little comic opera Beatrice and Benedict, based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, was produced with great success on August 9, 1862, the occasion that marked the opening of a new theatre at Baden. According to the French biographer, Adolphe Jullien , ' the eminently classical overture is based on two salient motives of the opera-a magnificent phrase a la Gluck, taken from the music of Beatrice, and a graceful piece of badinage, in triple measure, sung by Beatrice and Benedict as an epilogue.'

[Starring] Vic Oliver and Sarah Churchill with Geraldo and his Orchestra
Produced by Ronald Waldman

The most important engagement in Vic Oliver's life was that which took him to the Adelphi Theatre four years ago to act in C.B. Cochran's Follow the Sun, for Mr. Winston Churchill's daughter, Sarah, was making her debut in the chorus. They were married the same year in America. It was owing to his suggestion that she took up straight acting.
As everyone knows, Vic Oliver, most individual of comedians, has been entertaining listeners since last May in 'Hi, Gang!' He and his wife have made themselves responsible for the crew of a mine-sweeper, and supply them weekly with everything they need.

with Norman Shelley as Mr Leversuch and Gladys Young as his wife.
Written and produced by Stephen Potter
Mr. Leversuch's solid attitude to the war has been shown in many a broadcast since the summer of 1939, when listeners heard his reactions to A.R.P. in the first air raid programme. Since then we have heard the Leversuch family evacuating, Mr. Leversuch returning to wartime London, Mr. Leversuch deciding that after all it might not be a bad thing to join the Home Guard. In this programme high spots of the earlier ones will be repeated.
