BILLY BUNTER
Sir,-It was with great joy that we read in a recent issue that Billy Bunter was to be heard on the air. Our family were all brought up on Billy Bunter and his friends, and we still read them (when we think nobody will see us and laugh at us). We are no longer young. I am sure thousands of your young listeners, and old ones, too, will welcome the news, now that the books have ceased publication. My main reason for writing, however, was to ask whether the serial contemplated could not be put over on one of the other stations. With our set we cannot get 2YD at any time of the day or night, and the thought of our childhood heroes being on the air and we not able to hear them, would upset us very much. Please, Mr. Editor, couldn’t you do something about it? I’m
sure you’d please many others.-
AN OLD READER

("Billy Bunter" will be scheduled in the programme of one of the main stations later. Ample notice of presentation will be given in The Listener.-Ed.).
