Personal Column: 10 Full-Cast Vintage BBC Radio Dramas

"Who is behind the mysterious advert reading ‘Wife available – what offers?’ What prompted a ‘third girl’ to suddenly pack her bags and leave her flatshare? And when a newly married couple’s honeymoon period comes to an abrupt end, is the wedding dress to blame? Conceived by respected writer Philip Levene, whose writing credits include 19 episodes of ITV’s The Avengers, these ten full-cast dramas read between the lines of newspaper personal ads to tell captivating tales of the human condition – each with an unexpected twist. The stories range from a rookie blackmailer who learns the pitfalls of the business and a husband and wife who get more than they bargain for when they try to sell some old jewellery, to a lonely librarian who hires a personal escort for an important date and a dodgy insurance broker who takes drastic measures to try and avoid exposure. Written by esteemed TV scriptwriters and starring a host of well-known names including Carole Boyd, Bernard Horsfall, Anne Stallybrass, George Cole and Wendy Craig, this entertaining and varied anthology is a treasure trove from the golden age of radio. This series of vintage radio plays was first broadcast on the BBC Light Programme, 20 March – 25 September 1967.

Lines from My Grandfather’s Forehead: Selected Episodes from the Classic BBC Radio Comedy Sketch Sho

"Eight episodes of the vintage BBC Radio comedy starring Ronnie Barker Created by Ronnie Barker and producer John Fawcett Wilson, Lines From My Grandfather’s Forehead ran for two series on BBC Radio 4 from 1971-72, winning a Writers' Guild Award for best radio comedy series. Scripted by Gerald Wiley (the pseudonym used by Ronnie Barker) and a team of writers including David Nobbs and Miles Kington, this ‘sequential entertainment for radio’ featured sketches, monologues, music and poems. Among the hilarious sketches performed here, you’ll meet a struggling vicar, a Welsh birthday card poet, a perplexed psychoanalyst and a forgetful actor, and learn about the life of a great Englishman. There’s also an odd romantic tryst, a grave digger’s wedding, a bizarre slice of Shakespeare and a spoof of Paul Temple, and we hear the facts of life from the Minister for Population. Plus, treat your ears to an operatic train announcement, a poem for a man with a plan, the Aurora Borealis Waltz and a song about a beautiful – but sadly teetotal – maid…. Brimming with witty wordplay, this cornucopia of clever comedy stars ‘The One Ronnie’ – Ronnie Barker – with Terence Brady, Pauline Yates, Ann Beach and John Graham.
