On the day that a rival bus service is mooted, Dai makes a decision about Elspeth.
Sir Harry Secombe reads his own tale about the goings-on in a remote Welsh mining village.
These are the adventures of Dai Fargo who drives the only bus connecting sleepy Panteg to Swansea. The dilapidated vehicle may need constant mechanical intervention, but it’s the locals’ lifeline.
Sir Harry’s satirical novel reflects his association with The Goon Show’s Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Michael Bentine and Eric Sykes.
Abridged by Elizabeth Proud.
Producer: Enyd Williams
First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in February 1982.
