I used to love listening to Muir and Norden as a teenager in the 70s—the convoluted puns and the general delight in word play had a big influence on me. And 'Frank Muir Goes Into…' I've just found a website which has the old recordings and I'm reluctant to click on the links because I don't think I want to find out they weren't as funny as I thought they were at the time. https://www.radioechoes.com/?page=series&genre=OTR-Quiz&series=My%20Word
Same with 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again', 'What Oh Jeeves', 'The Navy Lark' and the rest—best to let sleeping heroes lie, I think.

Thanks for a typically interesting article!
Typo at the top. 1914, not 1912. Delete this comment when you fix it!
Gah. Let the record show I screwed up but it is fixed now. Thanks Andrew.
