"When and When
Not to Applaud"
"The Age" Correspondent in London
The B.B.C. has been worried about the
catcalls and whistles from studio audi
ences at its variety shows.
It has brought out a little
booklet called 'When ana
When Not to Applaud," to
hand to audiences as they go
In to the show.
Last night, an embarrassed
audience, clutching copies of
"When and When Not to Ap
plaud" sat in stony silence
through Much-Bindlng-In-the-
Marsh, one of the most popular
radio shows, with millions of
followers.
Star comedian Kenneth
Home decided to protest to
the B.B.C.
"I asked several people after
the show whether they enjoyed
it," he said. "They said it
was fine, but they were not
certain whether they ought to
laugh or not at .the end of a
joke. The pamphlet told them
to enjoy themselves, but to be
careful not to laugh too much
and not to clap at the end of
a joke. By the time they had
absorbed all these instructions
the show was nearly over."
