Half-an-hour of some of the best songs and sketches from radio revues of the last two years. Cast includes Joyce Grenfell , Jack Melford , Clarence Wright , Dick Francis , Gwen Lewis , Cynthia Teall , Kitty de Legh , the Cavendish Three, and the augmented BBC Revue Orchestra, conducted by Mansel Thomas. Produced by Ronald Waldman
This short programme should make stimulating listening for lovers of radio revue. The producers have been at pains to select what they consider some of the real peak spots from recent microphone successes. You will hear, for example, a song from Michael North 's recent production of So What;. a song from .that early-war Jimmy. Dyrenforth revue, Keep it Dark, and the now famous parachutist sketch from the same author's Acid Drops. Another sketch will be ' Potted Plays ' from ' Bar-bour Black-sheep ', and you will hear the finale of Out of the Fog written by Ronnie Hill and Peter Dion Titheradge at the beginning of the war.
