Bob and Ray            

Last Edited: 17-Sep-2012 A Global British Comedy Collaborative document. Edited by John Lucas
Broadcast source is BBC Radio Four unless otherwise indicated. Recording quality is considered good unless otherwise indicated.

Ray Goulding (1922-1990) and Bob Elliott (1923-)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_and_Ray There is a huge amount of Bob and Ray material preserved on CD. See http://www.bobandray.com/catalog.html for over 100 CDs.
  1. The Boston years (WHDH), 1946-1951 (radio, Matinee with Bob and Ray)
  2. The New York City years (NBC, CBS, and Mutual networks, and New York City stations WINS, WOR, and WHN), 1951-c. 1982 (radio and television)
  3. National Public Radio (NPR), 1982-1987
Unattributed individual routines
The Boston years (WHDH), 1946-1951 (radio)

The early episodes suffer not only from relative lack of experience but also topicality and locality (Boston and New England). Recording quality is spotty. Interesting also for the presence of the studio organist who had to improvise along with Bob and Ray.
