    Alan The Lad
    May 6 2025
    This time round, I'm paying tribute to one of Old Hollywood's most remarkable character actors - the wonderful Alan Mowbray - and his appearance in two films, in which he played the very same character... Elsewhere, who knew there was a board dedicated to the survival of cupcakes? We're dropping in with the What's My Line gang for another round of Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend? And radio entertainment comes courtesy of a very special one-off adaptation of one of history's greatest humorists!

    It's spring time, and we're celebrating in the company of some great ladies - Ginger Rogers in a reverse-Cinderella tale set in the opulent world of Park Avenue, and Claire Dodd turning the tables on a gang of conmen trying their best to influence her love life! There's also a sad note in the air as we say a fond farewell to another grand old lady. Radio entertainment comes this time from the Lux Radio Theatre!

Attaboy Indeed

Hours and hours of spellbinding entertainment listening to Adam as he reveals things you never knew about the Golden Age of cinema and to radio plays from yesteryear (which brings back memories of doing housework with Mum enlivened by gripping stories on the radio…miss that). There’s laughter, nostalgia, facts abound and you’ll always be left wanting more. Just brilliant and when you throw in the magical “Question Pot” and “Brook” theme songs, well you just can’t go wrong!

Thoroughly entertaining

Whether you’re a fan of Old Hollywood or just someone who appreciates stepping back to the thirties and forties, this podcast provides hours of entertainment. Adam is genuinely funny and engaging, and the stories told have to introduced me to an entire world of cinema that I never knew. An absolute cracker of a podcast.
