Beachcomber... By the Way Series 3
Episode 6 of 6

JB Morton's whimsies as performed by Richard Ingrams, Patricia Routledge, June Whitfield and Joan Sims. From December 1994.

More odd stories, idiotic court hearings and surprises from the dictionary.

Richard Ingrams, John Wells, John Sessions, Joan Sims and Patricia Routledge recreate the world of JB Morton.

With Brian Bowles, Simon Greenall, Henrietta Gooden and featuring June Whitfield.

Running in the Daily Express from 1924 to 1975 – JB Morton’s surreally comic β€˜Beachcomber’ column paved the way for a great deal of modern humour – thanks to characters he created between the wars.

Adapted by Michael Barfield with Richard Ingrams.

Announcer: Brian Perkins

Producer: Harry Thompson

First broadcast on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in December 1994.
