Band Waggon was a comedy radio show broadcast by the BBC from 1938 to 1940. The first season featured Arthur Askey and Richard Murdoch. In the second season, Askey and Murdoch were joined by Syd Walker, and the third season added Diana Clare for two episodes. Band Waggon was the first comedy show to be designed specifically for radio, and established the practice of broadcasting a regular comedy and music programme at the same time each week. The show ended in 1940, allowing Askey to pursue a career in film and Murdoch to join the Royal Air Force. A show of the same name and starring Askey and Murdoch with Tommy Trinder was playing at the London Palladium when World War II broke out. The following year another version - with Norman Evans in place of Trinder - played at the Blackpool Opera House. An audiobook CD featuring extracts from the Band Waggon radio show along with other comedy recordings by Askey and Murdoch was issued in 2006. LESS
