Before I forget, and before it expires on the BBC iPlayer, you must listen to last Saturday’s Archive on 4 – Radio Hollywood.
Between the mid-thirties and early-fifties, the Lux Radio Theater broadcast one hour radio adaptations of popular films of the day, employing either the original stars, or other movies stars.
We heard lots of extracts from films we’re familiar with, acted slightly differently, as well as behind the scenes stories, terrific interviews with the key stars who – professional to a hilt – would always mention how good Lux products were. The whole thing was sponsored by Lever brothers who produced the Lux range of soaps and detergents.
Anyway, don’t dawdle. Go away and listen.
And while you’re at it, don’t foget that I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue is back this week!
