: Late Joys
Victorian music-hall with all the favourites from The Players' TheatreChairman, John Hewer introduces Sheila Bernette, Anna Dawson, Josephine Gordon, Kim Grant, Denis Martin, Bill Owen, John Rutland, Joan Sterndale Bennett
This week's finale: The Quaker Girl
At the pianoforte, Peter Greenwell
(Recorded at The Playhouse, Northumberland Avenue, London, W.C.2)
Late Joys in the Home
The Players' Theatre, underneath the arches of London's Charing Cross railway bridge, is unique The members are connoisseurs of the after-dinner, or before-supper, type of entertainment that was shaking the rafters around the turn of the century. Tonight, and for a to come. you can once again number of Wednesdays to come, you can once again join in their Late Joys. Only a hundred yards from the Players' is the BBC's own Playhouse Theatre. Here, for your delight, the entire company are transported from their cave of harmony and song to present the full, fruity flavour of late Victorian music-hall in the setting of one of the finest Edwardian theatres in Britain.
Why Late Joys? 'There are two reasons,' explains producer Trafford Whitelock. They are "late" in that they belong to the recent past, and "late," also, because the curtain normally rises at nine o'clock in the evening.' He emphasises that Late Joys in a highly individual and personal interpretation - 'a present-day approach to those warm-hearted feasts of fun and melody that our grandparents loved.'
John Hewer, Master of Ceremonies in the previous broadcast series, is back on the chairman's rostrum, and the cast includes tiny Sheila Bernette in Fall in and follow me, Bill Owen in 'If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between,' and Denis Martin (the Players' resident producer) in 'Macushla.' You can also hearken to ditties about "Enery the Eighth' and not selling any more drink to Father, and, to finish, Josephine Gordon leading the entire company in memories of The Quaker Girl.
Future finales, which always bring down the house, will feature famous numbers of Marie Lloyd, Ada Reeve, and George Grossmith.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
