The Grumbleweeds: Ho-Di-Ho

The Grumbleweeds go on holiday - to Maplins in the TV comedy land of Hi-Di-Hi. With Paul Shane and Ruth Madoc. From 1986.

**** This programme was suggested by Neil Thomas, Mairtin Coss, Maggie Anderson, Paul Newman and Andrew Parr as part of BBC Radio 4 Extra’s All Request Weekend ****

Albert, Carl, Graham, Maurice and Robin invite you to join them for another 30 minutes of Grumbleweed fun.

Even the Grumbleweeds go on holiday. They've looked at everything from the Seychelles to Sardinia to Skegness - and decided on Maplins – in the TV comedy land of “Hi-Di-Hi” – but for them its more "Ho-Di-Ho".

The Grumbleweeds special guests are Ruth Madoc and Paul Shane.

The Grumbleweeds comedy radio starred Robin Colvill, Graham Walker, Maurice Lee, Albert Sutcliffe and Carl Sutcliffe. It ran from 1979 to 1988 and won the best radio show prize at The Television and Radio Industries Awards in 1983.

Written and produced by Mike Craig.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in November 1986.
