We’re in Business: Selected Episodes from the Classic BBC Radio Comedy

"Eight episodes from the vintage radio comedy starring Peter Jones and Harry Worth First broadcast on the BBC Home Service, We’re in Business ran for two series between 1959 and 1960. It starred Peter Jones as dodgy small-time businessman Dudley Grosvenor, who’s always looking to make a fast buck with his crooked schemes – usually at the expense of his hapless sidekick, Harry (Harry Worth). Dudley spends his life lurching from one crisis to another, secure in the belief that “it might never happen' – but when it inevitably does, both men end up in a fix… Collected here are eight of the surviving episodes from Series 1 and 2, in which Dudley and Harry get involved in various comic misadventures – from being stitched up by Dudley’s devious elderly relative to monkeying around with a stuffed gorilla and attempting to flog off their landlady’s feathered friend… The episodes included are: Dudley’s Granny, Dudley and Harry's Reunion, Changing Rooms, The Gorilla, The Regimental Dinner, The Parrot, The Newspaper Business and Conscience Money. Written by Peter Jones and a team of comedy writers including the legendary Barry Took and Marty Feldman, these hilarious recordings also star Irene Handl and Dick Emery, with special guests including Beryl Reid, Hugh Paddick, Doris Hare and Wallas Eaton. NB: Due to the age of these recordings, some episodes contain dated attitudes and language Production credits Written by Peter Jones, George Wadmore, George Evans, Marty Feldman and Barry Took Produced by Charles Maxwell First broadcast on the BBC Home Service on the following dates: Dudley's Granny June 1959 Dudley and Harry's Reunion February 1960 Changing Rooms February 1960 The Gorilla March 1960 The Regimental Dinner March 1960 The Parrot March 1960 The Newspaper Business May 1960 Conscience Money May 1960 Cast Dudley Grosvenor – Peter Jones Harry – Harry Worth Granny/Miss Jubilee Boot – Irene Handl Lady Crabbe – Beryl Reid Sid/Mr Trumpet – Dick Emery Parrot – Peter Hawkins With Hugh Paddick, Doris Hare, Vivienne Martin, Paddy Edwards, Wallas Eaton, John Graham and Frederick Treves © 2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Take It From Here

"Four episodes from the much-loved radio show starring Dick Bentley, Jimmy Edwards, June Whitfield, and Wallas EatonTake It from Here was one of the most influential radio shows of all time, sweeping in a new era of comedy and introducing an enduring pair of writers: bright young things Frank Muir and Denis Norden. Their literate scripts, and the madcap adventures of Dick Bentley, 'Professor' Jimmy Edwards, and June Whitfield, ensured 11 years of classic capers. Who could forget the barrage of puns, the Take It from Here 'Oscar'-winning screen skits, and the hilarious weekly reports on the marathon engagement of the drippy Ron and the doting Eth of The Glums? 'Oh, Ron!' and the inevitable response 'Oh, Eth!' became a despairing catchphrase that swept the land, and The Glums' popularity continued in two television series. Now we can laugh again at their timeless humour in these four fantastic episodes from 1958. Oh, bliss! ©2007 BBC Audiobooks Ltd (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks Ltd"
