Thread Name: BS: Drunk BBC radio reporter at Spithead
Subject: RE: BS: Drunk BBC radio reporter at Spithead
He was Lt. Tommy Woodruff, commentating on the Spithead Review in 1937. My parents used to mimic it from time to time - it has obviously been one of those broadcasting events that had got into the national consciousness of a generation.
I've found a recording of it here:
Spithead Review 1937
Scroll down to where it says: "Spithead Review (drunk in charge 1937)"
Cheers !
