The BBC are broadcasting a radio play on Friday 4th July which should appeal to students of Goon Show history. 1977, by Sarah Wooley, tells the story of the composer Angela Morley in the years after she transitioned from being the Goon Show’s Wally Stott. In particular, it’s set at the time she was writing of the Watership Down movie score. It was first broadcast in 2015 as part of the Drama on 4 series.
The programme is on BBC Radio 4 Extra, on Friday 4th July at 3.00 pm. It will be available to stream for the following 30 days from the programme’s BBC Sounds webpage or the Sounds app.
Also worthy of a read is this blog post in which the writer explains the background to the play.
