    Hells and damns were quite common in dramatic programs as late as the
    mid-1930s. However, the post-1934 Legion-of-Decency-era "clean language"
    movement hit radio as hard as it did movies, culminating in the "Beyond
    The Horizon" affair in 1937. NBC aired an adaptation of the play of that
    title with unexpurgated language, and *one* letter of complaint from a
    listener in Minneapolis was received by the FCC, which seems to have been
    hard up for a cause that summer. A full investigation was mounted and
    officials of station WTCN, the Blue network outlet in Minneapolis which
    had carried the program, were summoned before the commission to show
    cause why their license shouldn't be suspended.

    This put the fear of you-know-who into broadcasters, and language was
    bleached Rinso White for the rest of the radio era (although you might
    still hear a "hell" if someone sang 'Song of the Vagabonds.')

    This denatured langague continued on into television, with rare
    exceptions, until the early 1970s. I remember the amazement I felt as a
    child in seeing "All In The Family" for the first time -- it was the
    first program I'd ever seen in which people actually talked the way my
    family did.

    Subject:  Re: Reused ESCAPE scripts on SUSPENSE

        THE ISLAND is one of 30 scripts that first aired on ESCAPE that were
    later used on SUSPENSE.  There were several probable reasons.

        One of the reason was economics.  As ESCAPE was for the most part a
    sustained series, CBS had originally paid for the scripts to be written.
    Most of the CBS contracts at the time included a clause that allowed the
    script could be used again on the same or a different series and the writer
    would be paid an additional, but usually reduced fee.  Most of these
    recycled stories occurred from the mid-1950's onward when the budget for
    Suspense was cut.

        Three well-known radio directors -  William N. Robson, Norman
    Macdonnell, & Antony Ellis - directed both Escape and Suspense.  They used
    some scripts that knew would work; scripts that they had previously had used
    on ESCAPE.

        Finally, there was the issue script quality.  The majority of the
    scripts that were shared by both series were quite good and included, as you
    can from the following list, quite a few classics.

        In interesting footnote is that actor  John Dehner wrote two of the
    scripts that aired on both ESCAPE and SUSPENSE.

        Parley Baer plays a very different type of role in the ESCAPE and
    SUSPENSE productions CLASSIFIED SECRET.

    I have often said in print that there is no archive in the world which has
    embarrassed itself more than the BBC when it is discovered what they have
    not kept.  In 1975 I met Timothy Eckersley who was about to retire from
    being the longtime head of the BBC Programme Archive.  He proudly explained
    that the reason why their archive is so well indexed and manageable is that
    they select to keep only nine hours of programming per week.  Both he and
    the BEEB itself were rather stodgy in their tastes when it concerned what
    would be the fit and proper broadcasts to preserve.  Thus there is an
    amazing shortage of light entertainment programming preserved at the BBC.
    It was considered too ordinary and low class, and not worthy of
    preservation.  Things have gotten better in recent years, especially when
    they realized how much money they could have made from the recordings they
    destroyed over the years.  When I toured thru the archive a couple of years
    ago they were saying that they were keeping everything, although it turns
    out that there are certain categories that they keep everything--and dramas
    and comedies are now part of that category.

    The thing that seemed strange to me about Timothy Eckersley's statement was
    that they maintained a file that listed all of the recordings that were
    ever made by the BEEB.  Once they started pre-recording programs or making
    a recording for rebroadcast, all of them were given file numbers.  So, for
    example, although almost nothing remains of the first 3 or so years of The
    Goon Show, there is a complete file of all of the recording and replay
    dates complete with the file number that had been assigned to the
    now-destroyed recording.  That list has even been published (in The Goon
    Show Companion).  Since the file cards were already made out, didn't that
    mean that the recordings could have been easily located IF THEY JUST KEPT
    THEM?????

    TV programmes were apparently handled a little differently.  The producers
    of programs still in production were apparently contacted before any
    programs were destroyed, and could veto said destruction.  A few years
    there was a book published of the scripts and stills of the lost episodes
    of Dad's Army.  In the book the producer explained that he always vetoed
    the destruction, but the notice on these six or so episodes must have come
    to his office while he was away on vacation.  When programs go out of
    production they apparently were at peril.  In the case of programs like Dr.
    Who and Steptoe and Son, some of the early episodes were probably destroyed
    because they were in black and white, and in the case of Dr. Who, might
    possibly had been recorded in the old 405 line system.  Thus it probably
    was felt that there would be no re-run or syndication value, and only
    samples of the seasons would be kept.  In the case of "Neighbours", since
    this was a program which they had licensed from syndication from the
    Australian production company, the recordings belonged to the production
    company and not the BBC.  Therefore, the recordings were not theirs to
    destroy.

    Sounded like an interesting puzzle to me, so the first thing that I did was
    look up all the radio shows that I have on those two dates, but there was no
    indication from the titles that they were broadcast on Easter Sunday.
    So then I went to Google. The websites listed there showed that Easter Sunday
    was on "April 5th, April 12th, April 13th, April 20th, April 26th, May 4th,
    and May 11th".And those were on just the first three pages! There was one
    site that quoted from a Fulton J Sheen radio sermon for Easter Sunday April
    6th 1941. That sounded legit but I wouldn't bet my bipee on it based on the
    other info that Google brought up.

    The US is never too far from its Puritan roots, is it?   I remember a
    highly-circulated quote from a prominent Australian during the Clinton-Monica
    days.   He said and I paraphrase, that we Australians were lucky, the US got
    the Puritans and we got the prisoners.

    And there is this image about Great Britain of civility, charm, manners etc.
    All true, but along side that is a very free and uninhibited media
    environment.     They use all words freely, including bodily parts.   I
    watched 'Coupling' on BBC America and when I heard that NBC was going to do an
    American version I knew it would fail.  Of course it's no accident that
    they're freer then we are.   The puritans left Britain to come here.  :))

    And with all this talk about words like 'hell' 'damn' and censorship I can
    only wonder why.    I distinctly remember in catechism class Sister telling us
    that the use of the words hell and damn on their own were not considered
    cursing or blaspheming.   Only if you damned someone or expressed a wish that
    someone go to hell was it unacceptable or sinful.    Sounds reasonable to me.

    The lack of foul language is one of the characteristics of OTR that I
    believe has helped to keep it alive. True, many of us are fascinated
    by the artistry of the medium and others are interested in the
    historical aspects of this medium of a by-gone time. But others of us
    enjoy OTR simply because it means being entertained by a medium that
    respects us by not insisting on dumping language into our home that
    we wouldn't otherwise permit. If current broadcast television still
    was that respectful, I probably would still watch it. Thankfully we
    do have otr to not only educate us and enrich us, but to entertain us
    as well.

       Martin Grams asked --

       > Does anyone know if April 6, 1941 or April 13, 1941 was Easter Sunday?

       According the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, it was the 13th.

    would be appreciated.

    Subject:  More transcription questions

    Hello again,

    It seems that I have inherited another box of 16" [removed]

    This one contains a program called:

    The 13th Juror

    It says Vincent Price is in it.

    I do not seem to have any info on this one either.

    Would like to find a log of these shows, if any exist.
    Otherwise, any info would be a great help.

    Thanks again,

    Rod Gowen

    Subject:  those darn Radio Spirits boxes!!!!!

    I've recently purchased the Radio Spirits set of 'The Shadow: Greatest Radio
    Adventures' and while I've been enjoying the shows quite a bit, it's
    extremely annoying to open up the case to have a bunch of tapes fall out all
    over the place.  I don't know who designed these boxes, but they're really
    horrible.  The tapes do not stay tightly wound, and as I said, it's nearly
    impossible to open the case without at least a couple of tapes to fall out.

    I hope that the reason why certain sets are deeply discounted now is to
    deplete the stock so that it can be replaced with a better method of storage.

    rodney.

    Maybe it's a generation thing, but I have NEVER heard this term used this
    way.  I would know (and be able to picture) a PAINTED tree, but would have
    been very confused if Fibber talked about a FLOCKED tree.

    We all know who said that one - Orphan Annie!

    There was also "Sufferin' Sunfish! from the same show.

    (whatever a sunfish is)

    Many thanks for everyone who sent me the answer to the Easter date of
    1941.
    I got an overwhelming response so I'm thanking everyone at once.  The
    answer definately helped.
