Betty Witherspoon Show

Radio legends Kenneth Williams and Ted Ray join forces for this quickfire mix of characters, songs and sketches, first broadcast on Radio 2 in 1974. Accompanied by Quote… Unquote's Nigel Rees and veteran actress/comedian Miriam Margolyes, they cross their comedy swords and trade playful repartee. In these ten episodes, recorded in front of a live audience at the Paris Theatre, Ted Ray demonstrates his virtuosity on the violin; documentary feature 'Witherspoon's World' explores topics including medicine, the arts, Europe and the younger generation; and Inspector Spewles of Scotland Yard's Intelligence Unit gets flirty, sweetie, with a public information bulletin that's full of honeyed words.
