Annotation

Series 8, Episode 25
First Broadcast: 1958-03-17
Recorded: 1958-03-16

With A. E. Matthews.
Inspired by a real-life row A. E. Matthews was having with his local council about a concrete lamp-post they wanted to put outside his house. (There is also a reference to this in the previous show). Mr Matthews appears only in the last five minutes of the show, which are ad-libbed by all concerned owing to Mr Mathews's utter refusal to stick to the plot.
