"IT'S A GREAT LIFE"
HE In-Laws," which has been heard regularly from 1ZB, is coming to an end, and its place will be taken, on January 2, by a new feature "It’s a Great Life." This is an Australian production written by Lynn Foster, and featuring Betty Sutton and James Raglan, both well known in radio in Australia. Raglan has also played in several Australian films. "Tt’s a Great Life" concerns the adventures of a young married couple, Jimmie and Betty Beresford, and their six-months’-old baby. Through an accident, the young husband loses his job but, grimly proclaiming that it is still "a great life," they set out to make a living farming. Their farm they have never seen before, and the house turns out to be nothing more than a tumbledown shed. Finding, however, that their property is on the main road, they convert the farmhouse into a garage and petrol station. When the new venture is ready, they discover that a rival garage is being built across the road, and so begins a series of human and amusing adventures. This new morning tea session starts from 1ZB on January 2, and will be heard every week day morning at 10.30.
