SERIAL SECRETS
HALF-HOUR discussion which will entertain and interest many listeners will be heard from two. stations next week. In it three speakers, A. J. C. Fisher, Lloyd Lamble and John Gundry, give the respective viewpoints of a director, an actor and a scriptwriter on radio drama. In well-chosen phrases which he rolls off his tongue as neatly and as bitingly as a Churchillian description of a political enemy, Mr. Fisher condemns the weaknesses he sees (or, more accurately, hears) in radio drama, particular emphasis being placed upon the serials, The points he raises causes lively argument between the other two members of the panel as to whether scriptwriter or aétor are the most to blame, Nor is the public ignored in the allocation of black marks. But perhaps listeners will enjoy more some of the background stories of serial production, and addicts to this type of entertainment will doubtless be perturbed to learn that the fate of their favourite hero depends more upon the movements of the actor taking the part than it does upon the plot originally planned. The discussion will be heard from 2YA at 8.20 p.m. on Monday, November 22, and from 1YA at 9.30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 24.
