Press clippings
June Whitfield's radio career began in 1953 when she became the nation's darling as Eth in The Glums on Take It from Here. And radio, where she's appeared in top shows in every decade since, remains her first love as she reveals here in a conversation (about comedy, stars and how she learned the fine art of timing) with radio drama director Enyd Williams, linking a three-hour omnibus of those very programmes. There's a Take It from Here (1957), Crowther's Crowd (1963), The Frankie Howerd Show (1966), Punch Line (1980), The News Huddlines (2000) and a Miss Marple (directed by Williams) from 1993.

As I rummaged in the BBC archive searching for programmes to celebrate June Whitfield's radio years, a thought popped into my head. Should the history of British radio and TV have a special new acronym - TBJ - Time Before June?
