Endurance Test
T’S IN THE BAG iis, like all Gaul, divided into three parts; first, a kind of concertina-ed clumps game with bells on (very good listening), then a series of rapid-fire questions delivered to each candidate in a manner calculatedly pulverising (this rouses. all your protective
instincts on the candidate’s behalf and is therefore as good as a gdod cry at the pictures), then the fearfully exciting business of choosing the bag, where the winner is subjected to all sorts of nerveshattering psychological pressures from both compére and audience. No wonder that the audience (which has definitely had its money’s worth in the nearest thing we've got in radio to a_ bloodsport) is likely to feel for the competitor, who survives this terrific last-round conflict with Selwyn Toogood, something of the affection inspired by . the gallant little bull'who stands ‘up to. the
Biggest Matador.
