Easy Money
| AM still somewhat dazed by my first experience of Jack Maybury’s Money-Go-Round session, but it is guaranteed to provide parlour economists with a nice handy proof of inflation. To the sponsor money is obviously made round to go round, the payroll is a large one, and a consolation prize of five’ shillings
is absolutely de rigueur for the least knowledgeable of competitors, provided he is prepared to be forcibly fed the answer. As the prize-money _jackpots up a little more is required of the
competitor, but a guinea for knowing what the Vicar of Bray was noted for strikes me as easy money. Of intellec_tual interest there is comparatively little, of: human interest considerably more (though obviously personalities meant a lot more to the studio audience than to the radio one, judging by the clangour of their reactions). But the only real excitement of the session came from the contemplation of the golden stream being sponsor-diverted into so many pockets.
