Air Date: 19th April 1959 There's an old adage that you should be content with your lot. However, if you're the Admiralty and your lot is a right mob on an island off Portsmouth, the last thing you'll be is content. Anxious, terrified, panic stricken possibly but content? No! In fact, your only hope is to keep them occupied 25 hours a day with extra duties when things get desperate. Do you enjoy the variety on Oldtuberadio?

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13¾ is the first book in the Adrian Mole series of comedic fiction, written by English author Sue Townsend. The book is written in a diary style, and focuses on the worries and regrets of a teenager who believes himself to be an intellectual.[1] The story is set in 1981 and 1982, and in the background it refers to some of the historic world events of the time, such as the Falklands War and the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana as well as the birth of Prince William.[2] Mole is a fierce critic of prime minister Margaret Thatcher, listing her as one of his worst enemies. Apart from the humorous events described in the diary, a lot of the book's humour originates from the unreliable narration of Mole, who naïvely, yet confidently, misinterprets events around him.

Nowadays, ordinary daily shopping seems to get more and more expensive. Fortunately for a Naval Detachment on a small island off Portsmouth they never have to go shopping - they just indent from stores. And they claim, with some justification, that no other unit makes a bigger dent in the stores than they do. But that's only one of the complaints of the Inspecting Officer from Portsmouth.

A Day by the Sea Written by N.C. Hunter Adapted by Mollie Greenhaigh The loves, hopes and fears of a Dorsetshire family are brought together and revealed over a few short hours in the course of a day by the sea. With Wendy Hiller and Michael Hordem. Laura Anson: Wendy Hiller Dr Farley: Michael Hordern Frances Farrar: Barbara Leigh Hunt Julian Anson: Richard Pasco David Anson: Alan Wheatley Miss Malhieson: Elizabeth Kelly William Gregson: Ronald Herdman Humphrey Caldwell: Fraser Kerr Elinor: Jane Whittenshaw Toby: Danielle Allan N. C. Hunter has been called ‘the English Chekhov’, and this delicate, poetic, autumnal play captures a Chekhovian sense of loss, shattered ambitions and personal isolation, but amongst a distinctly English group of characters. Set in Dorset after the Second World War, A Day by the Sea is both gently comic and profoundly tragic . . .

Air Date 29th March 1959 We all have our cross to bear and in the case of Commander Shaw, an inspecting officer at Naval HQ at Portsmouth, it's a corker. The constant thorn in his side is a detachment stationed on an island which, unfortunately for him, is just out of telescope range of his office window. What makes that so maddening is that although he can't see if they are up to something - he knows they are. Starring Leslie Phillips Jon Pertwee Judy Cornwell Heather Chasen Ronnie Barker Dennis Price Stephen Murray Richard Caldicot Michael Bates Tenniel Evans

The place: Fleetwood, Lancashire, in the depths of a dead winter, the bleakest in years. The small town - part failed seaside resort, part former fishing port - has awoken to find a rusted old ship washed up on its silting estuary. There is no one on board, no craft have been reported missing anywhere in the Irish Sea and the ship is so weather-beaten that positive identification proves impossible. Jen Green, The Receiver of Wreck, arrives to find rumors sweeping the town as to just what the boat might be. From pirate radio station to pirate ship, Russian spy vessel to a gunrunning shipment to the IRA - no theory is too maverick as to what the strange ship might have been… Jen .....

Saturday-Night Theatre You Never Can Tell Sat 31st Jul 1971, 20:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM A Comedy by Bernard Shaw Producer: Betty Davies Dolly Clandon: Jo Manning Wilson Valentine: Denys Hawthorne Philip Clandon: Nigel Anthony Mrs Clandon: Betty Baskcomb Gloria Clandon: Prunella Scales Fergus Crampton: Godfrey Kenton FinchMcComas: Lockwood West The Waiter: Freddie Jones Walter Bohun: Michael Kilgarriff Parlour Maid: Jane Knowles Originally born out of a bet that Shaw couldn't write a "seaside comedy" (a popular theatrical genre at that time). The result is perhaps the most surprising of Shaw's plays, complete with marital mayhem, tangled romance, and even doubtful dentistry. Despite the play's lighthearted tone, it's really another of Shaw's brilliantly observed social treatises, this time in the guise of a light comedy. Do you enjoy the variety on Oldtuberadio?
