Al Read was a sausage maker from Lancashire who became popular for sharing his pithy observations on the absurdities of life. There was a demand for him as an after dinner speaker and in 1950 the BBC decided to put him on the radio. Although most of his humor was based on the lives of Northern English working class people, he struck a universal chord with his monologues and dialogues where he played both ends of the conversation.
