The Breakfast Cereal

The Lad seeks a breakfast with a Get Up and Go feeling, and lands in court. Stars Kevin McNally. 1956 episode recreated in 2015.

The Lad changes his breakfast routine in search of that Zing, Pep and Get Up and Go feeling, and ends up in court.

This is another lost episode lovingly re-recorded in front of a live audience at London's ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Theatre.

Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.
