On Sunday Evening
HOWEVER carefully we may avoid swing and soap-opera during the week, on Sunday nights 1ZB often provides the most reliable listening. On a recent specimen Sunday (between putting the kiddywinks to bed and switching over for the 9 o’clock news) we started off with the first instalment of Crime Is Our Business-an unspectacular but neatly-told tale of burglary in Salford. Then TIFH--the last of an unusually rewarding season. It’s true that Wal declined seriously towards the end (Rudolph seemed to have got at his script), but there was the simultaneous rise to unholy eminence of Dunners; and a strong series of parodies closed with a repeat (with improvements) of the Lady Godiva story, which deserves to rank with that other historical classic. the TIFH version of Caesar and
Cleopatra. And at a quarter to nine, Peter Gwynne interviewing the New Zealand Players-a lively and apparently spontaneous session, in which the Players performed well, _ without any suspicion of "putting on act."
