Don't Stop Now It's Fundation

Billed as a non-stop cabaret with Joe Griffiths, Gareth Hale, Norman Pace, Terry Morrison, and Victy Salva. The series was produced by Alan Nixon and written by the cast along with Charlie Adams and Geoffrey Atkinson. All but the first special appear to exist in the BBC archives, although they are generally uncatalogued. Those that are, are detailed below. This series obviously formed a nucleus of the Hale and Pace shows with the Two Rons and Billy and Johnny appearing as regular features.

The show started with a special broadcast on Radio 4 on Thursday 29.12.83 at 11.30pm. This show doesn't appear to be in the BBC archives.
