Seasons

""If anyone here tonight is afflicted with a stammer you will be interested to learn how George Mulliner got rid of his... The method is shown in our opening story, 'The Truth About George'. It entailed a certain amount of unpleasantness, but it was very effective ...""
P.G. Wodehouse
Introduction
Though a whiz at crosswords, poor George Mulliner stammers so badly he sounds like a soda-water syphon and is unable to declare his love for Susan. Searching for a cure, he sings (carols, chants, vocalizes) his way into a bit of a mess (botch, muddle, mix-up).
Season 2
""Tonight's story, 'Anselm Gets His Chance', tells how the fortunes of even a humble curate can be improved if he has a girl like Myrtle Jellaby, a girl with a heart full of love and larceny!""
P.G. Wodehouse
1975
