Saturday Matinee - The Goon Show (Emperor of the Universe), Hancock's Half Hour (Hancock's Car) & Beyond Our Ken (This Happy Breed)


Listen Later

This Saturday Matinee is brimming with classic British comedy and golden age orchestral charm.

We begin with "The Goon Show" in "Emperor of the Universe", as Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, and Harry Secombe take us on a delightfully absurd hunt for 25 million missing Englishmen.

Then it's time for our first musical interlude, with Jack Hilton and his Orchestra playing the Cole Porter gem "You're the Top".

Next, enjoy "Hancock's Half Hour" in "Hancock's Car", where Tony Hancock, Sid James, and Bill Kerr deliver a hilarious tale of motoring misadventures.

The laughs keep rolling with "Beyond Our Ken" in "This Happy Breed", starring Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden, and Bill Pertwee.

We round off the afternoon with the romantic "Lovelight in the Starlight" from the Emery Deutsch Orchestra.

Sit back and enjoy a perfect mix of laughter, music, and nostalgia from radio's golden years here on Vintage Classic Radio.
