Radio Humour is frictionless, it requires no complicated scenes or photographic tricks, the vision of the characters is in the mind, and in this episode, where "Carfax" is speaking from outside the train window, and then enters the carriage, it is done in a second, similarly, the homing pigeon in the lady's hat moving around does not need sophisticated animation tricks, it is already in the listeners mind , and for that reason, I prefer radio comedy, especially of this kind. The theme "take it from here " caught my attention immediately, and I was singing along with the "stargazers" as if it were sixty years ago.
Thank you very much. I listened to these on our local radio about fifty years ago. I still love it.
Grew up with these, great fun

My minds budget is much larger than a mere Movie studio. The special effects are unlimited.
I haven't owned a television since 2010, the steam wireless is far more entertaining... and the scenery is so much better.
