Double Acts

RADIO 2, 9.00PM

 Dame Barbara Windsor makes her first radio appearance since the sad news was announced that she is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. This is a precious chance to enjoy her uniquely entertaining delights as she presents the first in a new four-part series about great comedy partnerships. She tells the bittersweet story of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, who were enormously popular on American stages from the Thirties to the Fifties, and successfully made the transition to the then-new media of radio and screen stardom.
