The best radio plays in the world are from the BBC. Around three hundred have been commissioned each year for as long as I can remember. Authors such as Henry Cecil, Giles Cooper, R.D.Wingfield became well-known for their radio work in the 60s and 70s, and the tradition has continued, with Neville Teller, Michelene Wandor, Marcy Kahan, Nick Warburton, Martyn Wade and others providing excellent entertainment on a regular basis. There are enthusiasts all over the world who listen to BBC comedies, dramas and features, and some of them have interesting collections of recordings. The British Comedy Website www.Britishcomedy.org.uk is used by aficionados of Round the Horne, Just a Minute, Dad's Army, and other vintage comedies. The Vintage Radio Programme Collectors' Society (VRPCC) has collectors of programmes in all categories, but particularly radio drama and features. If you want to refer to the output of particular playwrights, click on WRITERS. STUDIO MANAGERS (SMs) have an important role in
making good plays for radio. Bert Coules has written about this for us
in one of the articles below, and Jocelyne Tobin has written for us an article about working in radio drama in an earlier era.
