I would like to second the sentiments in a previous posting.

BOMBER is indeed a brilliant example of BBC Radio drama. Based on the Len 
Deighton novel (but, IMHO, superior to the novel) it stars Tom Baker (ex 
BBC TV's DR WHO) and is the fictionalized account of the final hours of a 
Lancaster bomber crew in WWII, as well as the final hours of their German 
counterparts. Incorporated into the drama are interviews with actual WWII 
vets who were involved in similar wartime activities in real life.

The 4 cassette set runs under 4 hours. I bought mine in London England 
too at the BBC World Service store at Bush House in The Strand last year 
and it is one of the best radio dramas I have bought from them in years.

My late father served in WWII on Lancs in the RCAF and BOMBER gave me a 
real insight into the horrors and realities of such service. I have much 
more respect and admiration for my father's service record as a result.

Hi,

While the discussion of payola and plugola has not been totally 
uninteresting, I'd like to point out that these replies have gone off in 
a slightly skewed direction from the question I asked originally.

When I mentioned the reference to Pepsi in the middle of a Counterspy 
adventure, maybe I should have made it clear(er) that Pepsi _was_ the 
sponsor of the show -- and so it was not a case of either "ola's" or even 
"product placement" in the sense that later replies took the question.

Nor do I consider Raymond's banter with Mary a similar situation, as 
Raymond never (so far as I know) took an active part in the Inner Sanctum 
mysteries themselves.

Dr. Watson (as a character in the stories) did get involved in the 
commercials, but only in well-defined breaks, and never as part of the story.

In a separate reply to me, John Henley thinks that perhaps Joe Friday did 
smoke Chesterfields, and I have a feeling that he may be right.  I have 
not listened to enough episodes of the Falcon to know if Ed Carr is right 
in thinking that Michael Waring used Kraft products (grilled cheese 
sandwiches?).

On a completely unrelated matter, does anyone know the date of an episode 
of HOLLYWOOD STAR PLAYHOUSE called "Later Than You Think"?  It stars 
Victor Mature as a [removed] trying to get the goods on a notorious racketeer, 
played (of course) by Sheldon Leonard.  It's a pretty good story, with a 
couple of neat twists.

Oh yes.  Kolynos was evidently both a tooth paste and a tooth powder.

FE Boone and Speedy Riggs were the North Carolina Tobacco Auctioneers that
were on the Jack Benny Lucky Strike commercials.
