Galton & Simpson's Half Hour - You'll Never Walk Alone

Earlier this year, Radio 2 marked the 60th anniversary of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson's writing partnership with a series of half hour comedies, especially adapted by them for Radio 2. Here's another chance to enjoy the series starring Frank Skinner, Mitchell & Webb, Rik Mayall, June Whitfield and Paul Merton. In the first drama, You'll Never Walk Alone, Frank Skinner stars as a football fanatic, on his way to a Wembley Cup Final with his heavily pregnant wife and his best friend. An early labour, an emergency stop and the disappearance of the priceless tickets lead to a comedic study in political incorrectness and male chauvinism. The drama was first broadcast on Yorkshire Television back in 1974 and starred Brian Glover, Maureen Lipman and Peter Jones. The radio adaptation is introduced by Paul Merton.
