Old Time Radio Downloads > Comedy > Burkiss Way

Cult-classic comedy series Written by Andrew Marshall and Renwick, Burkiss Way starred Denise Coffey, Jo Kendall, Chris Emmett, Nigel Rees and Fred Harris. It was originally based on a series called The Burkiss Way to Dynamic Living, with each episode as a lesson in a comedic fictional correspondence course. Burkiss Way included many ironic and clever writing devices, such as false endings, playing the closing credits at any time during the beginning or middle of the show, and playing the show backwards. One old radio show was said to have been dropped, broken, and reglued, and had sketches that were humorously disjointed and ended in mid-sentence. Wonderfully bad puns and head-splitting hilarity abound.

ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO

The buzz-term for Old Time Radio is "OTR". OTR usually means radio broadcasting from the golden age of radio, mostly before 1964. These shows from the pre-television age include adventure, comedies, mystery shows, western dramas and shows from World War II. These programs feature the best talent of the day and were broadcast nearly as widely as cable programs today. And just like TV today, families would gather around their crystal radio sets to enjoy the entertainment together.


WHO TODAY LISTENS TO THESE OLD TIME RADIO PROGRAMS?

Recently OTR was sold and traded, on records and cassettes, by people who had grown up during the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's who had grown up listening to these shows. With the internet and mp3s, new generations of listeners are discovering these delightful old time radio shows and to their surprise, enjoying them immensely. Some of the references and nuances are out of date, but it turns out that a well told story is a delight to young and old alike.
