"Good Keen Men"

To publicise their new radio serial, "A Good Keen Man", Adair Bros. Department Store were host to a quiz and fashion parade staged by Station 2XG for a live broadcast on a recent Friday night.

The session proved to be an hilarious success, with announcers and technician suitably attired as good keen men.

The quiz panel, consisting of part time announcers, ponder a question. From lefts: Bob Sloan (returned services session), Robin Smith (shopping session), Hal Andrews (gardening session), and June Irvine (women's hour).

This contestant seems a bit nervy. Perhaps she dislikes prunes!

"How the heck did Robinson Crusoe get into this show?"....Technician Basil Howell with a 'Wilder' look.
