Stage and Screen

28 June 2004

Monday 28 June 2004 16:00-17:00 (Radio 3)

Edward Seckerson celebrates the work of Anthony Newley, who co-wrote, directed and starred in Stop The World I Want To Get Off, and revisits the music of David Heneker, whose show Half A Sixpence made Tommy Steele the toast of the West End, Broadway and Hollywood in the 60s.

Duration:

1 hour

Programme your own show

Here's an opportunity for regular listeners to the show. Every week you deluge the Stage & Screen production team with comments positive and otherwise about the programmes. Thanks for all the feedback. Occasionally some of you don't like a performance, and other times you hate the score as well. So this is your chance to get your own back with a special edition of Stage & Screen programmed by its listeners .

If there's a song, or a particular performance that you'd like Edward Seckerson to play on the show, please email or write to us, giving us as much detail as you can about where we can find the recording. And, along with that, you might like to outline the reasons for your choice - were you at the opening night? - does it trigger a particular memory - or is it just something that you can't hear often enough? You may also like to include a daytime telephone number, as we will be calling the senders of the most interesting suggestions to invite them to introduce their own songs on the air.
