About This Item
London: N.p. [BBC] 1953. 35 mimeographed pp., secured by split pin to top left. Occasional revisions throughout, front page a little marked, near fine. First edition. Episode 9: transmitted 27 December 1953. NO RECORDING OF THIS EPISODE SURVIVES. Terry-Thomas' first radio 'lead' was in To Town With Terry, which he co-wrote with Talbot 'Carry On..' Rothwell. The show was transmitted in 1948 but, although popular, Terry-Thomas was unhappy with it, and it was shelved after a single series. It took five years for this follow-up to appear. The show's regular co-stars were Joan Sims and Leslie Mitchell, and each show featured special guests. This episode featured Donald Houston and Albert and Les Ward. This copy of the script has 'STANLEY' written in blue pencil across the front page. The show's Musical Director was Stanley Black, a fixture of 1950s radio who, among much else, wrote the theme tune for The Goon Show. Extremely scarce.
