In this audiocassette, Paul Merton combines with one of British television's most successful writing teams, Galton and Simpson, to recreate The Radio Ham and other comedies. The writers have revised the scripts—some having been written over 30 years ago—to bring the comedies into the 1990s.
Raymond Percy Galton OBE was an English radio and television scriptwriter, best known for the Galton and Simpson comedy writing partnership with Alan Simpson. Together they devised and wrote 1950s and 60s BBC sitcoms including Hancock's Half Hour (1954–1961), the first two series of Comedy Playhouse (1961–1963), and Steptoe and Son (1962–1974).
