What do a comic book, a Roman detective, a seasoned Scotland Yard veteran, and an Italian Priest have in common?

This week at Brunch a bowl full of serial?

On the sixteenth edition of Brunch With The Brits Matt starts us off with "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again," otherwise known as Radio Prune. This was the pilot episode for The BBC Home service from 1964 and features the well known voice of John Kleese. It's really a jumping off point for Monty Python and the presentation of skits will remind some of Pythons' later albums. The Radio Prunes team were all Cambridge students together and were responsible for the occasional Cambridge Circus Spotlight Review heard on Home Service.

It looks like it's time for another What Once Was Radio. Join me April 24th for a
little comedy and lots of music as we give you a triple play. We will start off with
the Glenn Miller Chesterfield show followed by Spike Jones and the City Slickers
and wind things up with a program called Guest Star. Guest Star was a public service
program put out by the United States Savings Bond Division and broadcast on radio
stations through out the country at different times.

Hello and welcome to Brunch 10 otherwise known as our "Easter Brunch." For Easter
we'll be first exploring "The Warden." The Warden is a book that was first written
in 1855 by Anthony Trollope. It's a story written while he was a postal clerk in
England trying to make extra money. It tells the story of a man in charge of a hospital
for the elderly. These were elder laborers and workers who when their work was done
could retire in to the care of the Anglican Church and know their worries would be
cared for. The story starts when the Church is investigated for fraud and mismanagement.

“That was the shot ... that killed Harry Lyme," those immortal words began one of
the most unique old time radio shows. "The Lives Of Harry Lyme," had a short run
on the BBC under the title "The Adventures Of Harry Lyme," but it had a better run
