| ISTENERS who have seen the film The Intruder will recall that in one of the early scenes Wolf Merton (Jack Hawkins), an ex-colonel of a tank regiment, finds Ginger Edwards (Michael Medwin), a former member of his regiment, burgling his study. This scene opens a BBC Picture Parade programme about The Intruder, which is now going the rounds of National stations. The film uses humour very effectively to relieve the drama and in one excerpt used to illustrate this point listeners will hear Dora Bryan (above) as an ENSA girl who persuades a timid corporal to show her the inside of a tank.’ Hearing Miss Bryan they will probably also recognise the voice of Miss Gladys Plumb of the current Much-Binding series.
