Remember Caesar?
HERE was something familiar about the title, and sure enough after I had turned up to 2ZB on a recent Sunday to listen to it I did remember Remember Caesar which I had heard from 2YA some months ago; and my memories were so pleasant that I decided to listen again to this parable of the inadvisability of leaping to conclusions with both feet, as the announcer 80 sportively put it. There is a surprising amount of amusement to be got from repeat listening to a comedy with a surprise ending, since it is naturally more fun to be in on the joke from the beginning than, like the victim of the party stunt, to enjoy one hollow laugh at the end. And better to hear a good play twice than lend the ears to two mediocre ones.
