: Joey: 1: The Ducks
A comedy of East End Cafe-Societywith Alfie Bass , Harry Fowler, Valerie Kirkbright
Written by Terrance Dicks
More About Joey
Last year the Light Programme broadcast a single comedy programme written by Terrance Dicks, entitled The Lonely Hearts. The story concerned young Joey Green who, living more by wit than work, decided that a marriage bureau could be a means of self-service as well as public service.
Tonight Terrance Dicks's first series begins. In it are six half-hour programmes, each an amusing w the somewhat uncertain existence of Joey Green. The three main characters are Hymie Rosen, a kindly and philosophical Jewish cafe proprietor, Mary, Joeys girl-friend, whose main interest is to pin him down to wedding date; and Joey Green himself. Alfie Bass plays Rosen, Valerie Kirkbright is the girl-friend, and Harry Fowler the ebullient Joey. Most of the action draws colour from regular and irregular members of an East End cafe society: market traders, small-time spivs and crooks, the local law, and now and then an import from the plushier West End. Tonight's story concerns a consignment of plastic toy ducks from which Joey hopes to turn over several honest pennies.
Throughout the series the status quo is of course preserved. Whether Joey tries to promote a pop-star, or promote Hymie Rosen to the local council-even in his David-and-Goliath encounter with big business-Joey survives, and is never dull while he is doing it.

and Weather ForecastAbout 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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
