The augmented BBC Variety Orchestra will 'kick off' for Britain by playing some of their best numbers. Gracie Fields will then be herself, as only Gracie can, and will sing a medley of tunes from her latest film. At the end of her part in the programme she will talk to her vis-a-vis across the Channel Linking the two halves of the show will be this three or four-minute dialogue between Gracie and Maurice, after which Ray Ventura et ses Collegiens, ace dance band of Paris, will come in to support Chevalier.
Maurice Chevalier himself will probably sing one of his old favourites, as well as two of his newer successes.

A selection of the writings of Englishmen on France showing their gradual discovery of her fascination by Igor Vinogradoff and Stephen Potter
Short dramatic scenes set in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries will show the effect upon various people in England of the growing knowledge of France, the French people, and French culture. The theme will develop from the times when little was known of France, through the heyday of French court life and pomp, to the times when English writers began to discover the truth about the folk across the Channel.
