Yes, Douglas, this is entertaining and educational (in a quick-fire funny way) but it �s not from the 40s. I know this because it was produced by everyone �s favourite flared-trousered education institution, the Open University (founded 1969) and narrated by everyone �s favourite short-necked barrister, Clive Anderson (founded 1952).
