Ken Dodd introduces your request records.

If British housewives in their millions absentmindedly rush to the top drawer at that impassioned non-sequitur: 'Where's mi sheart?' - blame it on the pulling power of Ken Dodd. Each morning this week ('diddyfolk' permitting) Doddy has a date at the studio to introduce the record requests in Housewives' Choice, punctuated by his irrepressible off-beat clowning.

An audience mostly of women doesn't daunt Doddy (he once entertained 3,000 at Manchester Free Trade Hall), and he often finds that women are less inhibited than men in their sense of humour. ('Women live through their emotions; they're less analytical and often more appreciative of sub-conscious comedy.'). Liverpool-born Doddy can claim first-hand experience of meeting housewives in their homes: he used to be a door-to-door salesman selling pots and pans and had to overcome a paralysing shyness to get beyond: 'Good-morning, missus.'

He is also sentimental ('I like songs with words that mean something'), and the romantic Doddy can swiftly banish the clown through his fine baritone voice in such numbers as 'Eight by Ten' or 'Love is like a Violin' which are currently stopping his show at the London Palladium. But never serious for long ('Are donkeys here to stay?'), Doddy on his Housewives date is guaranteed to enliven those mid-morning chores.

† Produced by JOHN RICHMOND and EILEEN CULLEN
Script by Jeffrey Segal
Repeated Wednesday, 11.15 a.m.
The au-pair girl has rushed home to her mother, and Mrs. Dale and Lalage have been helping Bob with the twins. Sheila Draycott , who has been abroad for a week. returned to find Tom drinking heavily. After a bitter exchange of words he told her that he had been to the police and said that he killed Devenish. Sheila pointed out that this was impossible as she had seen Devenish alive after Tom had left him. She now believes herself to be the prime suspect.
