An evening of (very old) radio with Paul Kerensa

The George Community Hub, Newnham, GL14 1BS

Dates: 01/03/2025

Venue: The Gallery

Are you sitting comfortably? Then relax and enjoy this delightful one-man celebration of the early days of the Beeb, researched, written and performed by award-winning TV writer Paul Kerensa.

 

Meet the forgotten radio pioneers: the schoolteacher who became the BBC first children’s presenter… the author who became the first sports reporter… the flying ace who became a much-loved radio ‘uncle’ (until he talked over an opera broadcast, and received death threats from irate listeners). Expect tales, clips and re-enactments of radio’s earliest landmark moments, including the first BBC broadcast, the first children’s drama, sports commentary, and more.
