Jack is bed-ridden after catching a cold - and he's blaming the show announcer, Don Wilson.

The Jack Benny Program is regarded as an American classic - running first on radio from 1932 to 1955, with re-runs to 1958.

With a fine cast of supporting players Benny made his show into one of the all-time great radio comedies, portraying him as likeable character, despite being vain, argumentative and a skinflint.

Many episodes have stood the test of time.

Over the years, show sponsors ranged from tyres to cigarettes.
