The Breakfast Cereal
The Lad seeks a breakfast with a Get Up and Go feeling, and lands in court. Stars Kevin McNally. 1956 episode recreated in 2015.
The Lad changes his breakfast routine in search of that Zing, Pep and Get Up and Go feeling, and ends up in court.
Between 1954 and 1959, BBC Radio recorded 102 episodes of Galton & Simpson's comedy but 20 went missing from the BBC archives, and had not been heard since their original transmission… until these faithful re-imaginings.
This is another lost episode lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at London's BBC Radio Theatre.
Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.
