1ZB: "Gran"—in private life Mrs. Donne—is a Scot. Nobody could possibly mistake it. She talks with a fascinating Celtic burr, and she has a dry Scots sense of humour—the kind that made Harry Lauder one of the funniest comedians on earth. Gram is one of the nicest of people, so it is natural that the staff of 1ZB are very fond of her. She has been in the Commercial Broadcasting Service for a number of years, and. her popularity with listeners is firmly established. Her sessions are characterised by her whimsical sense of humour, her unobtrusive kindliness, and her Scots commonsense. The Home Service Session from 1ZB is conducted by "Gran."
