Story
The London Stock Exchange, 1882. Tin, wool and rain are falling, and there's been talk of the Bank Rate going up. Has there been a leak? Why? They saw a plumber going in. Sterling is in danger — it's dropped from F sharp to E flat — and Exchange Runner Neddie is entrusted with putting it in the key of G. He plans to raffle the Equator to save the Pound whilst wily Bluebottle cashes in by singing his famous Sewer Song, 'There is nothing wrong with a good old British pong'. Yes folks, it's a real stinker!
Music
- The BBC Orchestra is conducted by Wally Stott
- Max Geldray plays I Can't Get Started (Vernon Duke (music) and Ira Gershwin (lyrics))
