Press clippings
Another newcomer to radio comedy is The Harpoon [...] a spoof of the oldie-worldie Boy's Own (and Girl's Own) papers, also a spot of the old Children's Hour educational numbers. Again, cleverly written and performed, and well paced. It had something of the Glen Baxter cartoons, progenitor of the chattering classes' favourite postcards.
