1955: Any Questions?

The Any Questions? panellists consider whether a young couple should forgo a traditional white wedding and honeymoon in order to buy a house. Among those taking part is wedding fan Walter Elliot MP, who is in favour of "the whole bag of tricks the whole time".

This is an extract from a programme recorded at Winsley Chest Hospital near Bath in 1955. Decades later, Any Questions? remains a popular and topical radio series.

Walter Elliot's first wife died in 1919 as a result of a climbing accident in the Cuillin Hills on the Isle of Skye while they were on their honeymoon. He remarried 15 years later but had no children.
