Okay after a long vacation we're back with tow hours and forty six minutes more of brunch fun.  And it's because we decided to conclude just to keep things simple A Small Town In Germany.  Plus we'll begin a new lark series.  This one The TV Lark and it's before Navy Lark Series 5.  We'll hear the first episode entitled Opening Night don't worry John Lingard.  Great sound quality.  It's from Jan 25 1963 and before we put the British history book away for a bit it's time for Sceptred Isle and the first look at The AGe of Revolutions from 1760 to 1792.  We'll be discussing the end of the seven years war.  Don't forget two chapters of The Secret Advasary as well. Enjoy.Find us on itunes at http://bwtbrits.libsyn.comOr here at http://www.radiooutofthepast.organd as always we're on the Radio Entertainment Network.Matt Cox HostMaria CAstaneda Producer

This week brunch is short.  It's because next week we'll be starting what I'm affectionately refering to as Thirty Weeks of Lark ... or so.  So that we're caught up on Navy Lark entirely.  Thanks to the producer for getting us TV Lark.  So this week it's Sceptred Isle A Small Town in Germany and two chapters of Secret Adversary.  We apologize for the lateness but with friends of the magic and the producer's bday we've been taking some time off.  We're back however as of Saturday August 24 depending on where you live. And it's great to be back.Catch the show on radio out of the past at http://www.radiooutofthepast.orOn itunes we're at bwtbrits.libsyn.comand we're always on radio entertainment network.Matt Cox hostMaria Castaneda Producer

Okay this week's brunch is long.  Two hours and forty four minutes and it's thanks to Ray Noble.  Yet I hope you enjoy it.  We begin by welcoming an old friend.  As most of you know we've been chronicling the well loved commedy The Navy Lark.  This was one of Fred's favorites and we begin the fifth series by going back to April 5 of 1963 and listen to First Day Out of Dock.  We then listen to The Ray Noble Story.  This was not a documentary made for BBC but rather Capital Radio and we'll hear Ray that wonderful charming band leader who made an impression both here in the United States ... he did lead the band during the Burns and Allen early years and over in Britain.  Then it's back to Germany and episode 3 of A Small Town in Germany.  This is well dramatized and we're certainly hoping you're enjoying it.  We end with two chapters of Secret Adversary.  Enjoy.Listen and download Brunch fro the Radio Outo f the Past web site at http://www.radiooutofthepast.orgGet the show on itunes or through your favorite pod

A brief word of warning about this week's BWTB.  It has explicit moments that may not be suitable for all listeners.  It has an e label in i tunes due to a bit of language as we were at the Renaissance Fair last week and this week we present some of the Ren fair musicicians we uncovered.  We appologize in advance if we offend.  Special thanks to The Merry Wives of Windsor and the Poxy Bogarts for allowing us to use their music to give listeners a tast of a true Southern California classic.  If there are Ren fairs in your part of the world or country not only do we strongly suggest you attend if it's up your alley we'd like to hear about them.  There is a show this week as well and we start as always with The lives of Harry Lime from April 11 of 1952.  Harry travels all over Europe and Havannah to uncover a mysterious gentleman's past.  The episode is entitled Man of Mystery.  Then in This Sceptred Isle we'll leawrn about the real seventeenth century aka what life was like for the real common English.  We'll m
