Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Ports Of Call "England" (1936)

England (1936)



Ports Of Call - An obscure series from 1935 or 1936 in which each episode deals with a voyage to a different country where events of that country's history are dramatized. They each begin with the low moan of a tramp steamer's whistle and the announcement of the series title, followed by a musical interlude.







THIS EPISODE:

1936. Transco syndication. "England". Music fill for local commercial insert. King John signs the Magna Carta, Elizabeth and Essex: a romance gone bad. Lord Nelson wins the battle of Trafalgar. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The first World War. Edward, Prince of Wales, becmes the king. He was proclaimed King Edward VIII on January 20, 1936. No mention is made of his abdication, which took place on December 11, 1936 and would therefore date this program during 1936. The identity of the syndicator is subject to correction. . 30:21.
