My father had a illustrated book of Stanley Holloway monologues, which, when I was a boy, he used to read to me in a broad Lancashire accent. Unfortunately the book got lost.

I had one of those - I havn't seen it for years so guess its got lost.

Snap!  I have the same book in the same condition!

This programme can be very educational: I never realised that Stanley's monologues were generally written by one Marriott Edgar, who also wrote film scripts such as Will Hay's 'Oh Mr. Porter'.

... who was the half brother of Edgar Wallace - creator of King Kong. But we are getting rather far away from Banbury now. I don't think we will be venturing down the South Oxford any time soon.

That's the one.

 

My parents are visiting tomorrow and I've asked myou father to bring the Stanley Holloway CD so I can make a back up copy for him  (and keep it safe at my house ?)
