broadcasts when Laurel and Hardy had promised to appear on an international programme. The day of the broadcast Laurel was ill; he said that he would appear if he felt better, but in any case Hardy would be there. To make certain of Hardy’s appearance I phoned him, only to be told he was at the golf links. I went miles out to the links, but could not find the comedian. To make a long story short, although I had tried repeatedly to get some information as to whether to expect either one or two comedians and thus save their time on the broadcast, I had not heard from either comedian by the time the programme had been started. However, the show must go on-and it did-but to this day I have never heard from the comedians, which is hard to understand, considering they are in the theatrical business and know the importance of their work. However, there is much in radio to compensate for the troubles one has, The joy in fan-mail is never ending. During the Olympic Games broadcasts it was the letters and cables that kept me going-for few will know the great strain of those programmes when I attended the Games all day long, rushed home in the evening, wrote my day’s programme and hastened to KFI, some 10 miles away. Altogether I covered some 60 miles a day just in motor trips, and as the programmes were at midnight, they made an exceedingly long day.
