this would make a funny tv series

[TheLoneStranger0]

This fabulous slapstick comedy was first aired in 1936 and ran until 1941. There were around 520 episodes, and the show was produced and directed by Rex Dawe, who also played Dr. Percy Pym, the school master. It has been re-broadcast countless times since first hitting the airwaves, such was its popularity.

I first heard this show in 1992 when I was 8 years old on what was radio 3UZ but is now Radio Sport National and they no longer play Yes What, they haven't done since the mid 90's. I thought this show was fantastic in the mid 90's, I'd listen every Sunday night and would get really angry if I missed a show. What a show, it was really amazing.

[minipullin]

SWEET! More would be awesome! :D

[LachoDroogie]

iv got a fair few of these cds, i grew up listening to them, passed on from my old man. i still listen to them now :-)

[xipetlaloc]

What a treat it was to hear this again after all these years. I remember as a school kid in the 50's, sitting around the dinner table with the family, laughing our heads off every evening.

Of course nothing could have been further from how things really were at that time. Public School teachers of the Menzies era were a sour, humorless, no-nonsense lot. Word had it that the Dept. of Education of the time wanted to have it banned as they believed it was a bad example for the kids.

Many thanks

[bondsee]

great stuff from a bygone era !! unlike the absolute crap on the radio today.

[RATTLEY67]

Thank you so much. good memories!

[kevinherbert]

Gr8...more please

[TheJackalbertj]

MORE MORE MORE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

[anatoashes]

wasn't it earlier than the 50's and 60's? cuz they had to break it up to go to war (WWII) and I'm fairly sure that Richard Harding-Browne was an RAAF fighter-pilot and was killed during the war. I was only small when my parents introduced me to Yes What and I was so upset when I realised that all the people in it had passed away years ago. Thanx so much for uploading this one tho - I've got all my dad's old tapes (and a couple of CD's) but this one isn't on them. You've made my evening :-D

[only1funkmother]

@anatoashes You're right. It was produced at 5AD in Adelaide in the mid to late thirties.

[mollymitch1]

@anatoashes It started in 1936 and went to air util the 60's however the fisrt episode went to air on 5AD in Adelaide not sure of the exact date though

[mollymitch1]

[Lachlant1984]

@mollymitch1 They were recorded at Radio 5AD I believe. 

[chrischen100]

Brings back wonderful memories of evenings spent around the radio asa kid.

More please....!

[sonjah4]

great stuff more more more

[paulsydneygold]

Great stuff. Would appreciate more clips if you have them?

[mollymitch1]

@paulsydneygold Buy them on eBay on CD they are still available

[lilynick1]

Aaaaaaaaargh! Dont stop there! How did Bottomley know the answer?

Wow its great to hear this again. Gave me so many laughs years ago in a more innocent time. Crikey, you cant use the cane anymore.

THANKS ozzygrrrl. More please!

[crowdiegal]

I love this radio serial. I love the episode where Greenbottle ended the lesson by impersonating different animals such as emu laying an egg while turning a double back somersault resulting in Doctor Pym giving him the cane. It's sad it doesn't get played very often on Australian radio now because it's one of the best

[crowdiegal]

They have released box sets of this series on CD but they are extremely hard to find. I had to ask the ABC shop to order in two of the three box sets

[LindsayJohnJames]

More please More please

[dingodave1]

Mr Percey put with a lot of crap from those little @#$%s. Loved yhe one when Greenbottle told Mr Percey that his father does Nuttun' at work.

[alco850]

A great to hear again. Use to listen every night I was a kid. Anymore would love to hear them.

[202Quacker]

this is awesome

do you have anymore

i would love to hear a lot of them again

[WTFmate23456]

this show is EPIC. i spent the entire 5th grade pissing myself laughing telling everyone that 7+8=19. Noone got it (being 2002, it wasnt entirely suprising)

Thank you SO MUCH. I love Dr. Pim and Bottemly and Greenbottle and Stanforth in all his obliviousness. I love it when they blew up the classroom and then they had lessons in the bike shed. ahhh the memories.

You have excellent taste, thank you again!

[mirrabook]

Great - love the yes what shows

Greenbottle a true aussie larikin from yesteryear

[ashton287]

[triplestep1829]

i have it on my ipod and on cd, but not on youtube

[202Quacker]

[Balfers1]

Yes What is Australian comedy at its best.

Thanx soooooo much for posting this online, hopefully it will dramatically our audience of listeners especially with a younger demographic.

[mrhatsuka]

I completely agree!!! This is made for TV

[cravenmoorrrrrrrrr]

I liked the one at the easter show where Sir was put in the boxing ring,, good clasic radio.

[mrhatsuka]

[rangertocpt]

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST AUSTRALIAN RADIO PRODUCTION. IT WAS RECORDED IN THE LATE 1930s AND STILL PLAYED ON RADIO SOMETIMES.

[AlbinoCaterpillar]

Ain't this wonderful!
