I have some old BBC comedy on cassette. An ITMA programme; from 1943 I think. Off air from a radio re broadcast not sure when.

Also two cassettes each with two episodes of Round the Horne. Not sure of the date maybe 1970 ish

The ITMA is almost like a trial run for The Goon Show. With funny voices, eccentric characters and two musical interludes.

The jokes are contemporary with life in 1943 of course.
