BBC Blogs - About the BBC - 75 Years of the BBC Radio Drama CompanyA Case for Paul Temple ran on the radio from Feb 7 to March 28 1946, 8 episodes of 30 minutes a time. The original recordings were lost but recreated and transmitted in August and September 2011. I wish I had known about this at the time mum would have loved it.

This weeks film is "Over 21". It was a comedy film made in 1945 fro a Broadway stage show.
The plot is a newspaper man Max Wharton suddenly decides to leave his job as chief editor for the New York Bulletin and follow his patriotic calling to enlist in the army. Max's novelist wife, Paula, is in Hollywood adapting a screenplay, but skips town and heads to a Florida military base to support Max during basic training. Together they adjust to the sporadic absurdities of military life.

It is probably better than what it says on the tin😏
