Press clippings
What was odd about this particular programme was that it was the last episode in the series The 27-Year Itch (Radio 4), Tuesdays and Thursdays, described for some extraordinary reason as a "comedy." It was as though the BBC had taken that smooth pre-Christmas production of Dodie Smith's old faithful, Dear Octopus, and, without changing the text at all, inserted dollops of canned laughter and told the cast to camp up the delivery of their lines.
