I have some old BBC comedy on cassette. An ITMA programme; from 1943 I think. Off air from a radio re broadcast not sure when.
Also two cassettes each with two episodes of Round the Horne. Not sure of the date maybe 1970 ish
The ITMA is almost like a trial run for The Goon Show. With funny voices, eccentric characters and two musical interludes.
The jokes are contemporary with life in 1943 of course.
