This programme asks you to assume that broadcasting was invented a hundred and fifty years ago, in 1783, and that you are listening to the entertainment provided by the English Broadcasting Club from its rendezvous ' The Crown and Anchor Tavern,' in the Strand. Broadcasting in the picturesque but unhygienic London of the time was an exclusive and informal affair: direction was in the hands of three members, Mr.Foppington, Sir Bertie Bastin and the dissolute Lord Pinchley : the studios were full, and conversation and interruptions frequent.
