Much Binding in the Marsh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh was the title of a comical BBC radio show broadcast from 1944 to 1954, starring Kenneth Horne and Richard Murdoch as senior staff in a fictional RAF station battling red tape and wartime inconvenience. Over the years the station turned to non-combatant operations, became a social club ("the proposed membership drive has been cancelled as it is far cheaper to give everyone a bus ticket") and finally a newspaper entitled "The Weekly Bind".
Other cast members included Sam Costa, Maurice Denham, Dora Bryan and Nicholas Parsons.
