A selection of songs specially composed for past radio shows by Ronnie Hill and Peter Dion Titheradge with Dick Francis , Patricia Leonard , Marjorie Westbury , Ronnie Hill ,
The Cavendish Three and BBC Revue Chorus
BBC Variety Orchestra conducted by Charles Shadwell
Presented and compered by Vernon Harris
It would be difficult to find two happier collaborators than Ronnie Hill and Peter Dion Titheradge , though their first meeting at the Gate Theatre was almost accidental. George Black invited them to provide much of the material for his Hippodrome show Black and Blue, produced in 1939. Since then they have written innumerable shows for broadcasting, being particularly successful with their ' monthly revues ' such as Out of the Hat and Blackberry Pie.
