Useless quote for 23 Jan:
"Perhaps Kenneth Williams is closer to the mark by noting that Trump, above all else, is the product of a modern phenomenon — marketing."

And my final point: Comedy requires brilliant writing. It does not matter how talented the performers may be if the scripts are mediocre.
Perhaps the pairing of Ted Ray and Kenneth Williams really was unworkable from the start, but whatever the reasons for the show's failure, it is certainly the case that 'The Betty Witherspoon Show' is not an example of classic British radio comedy.
