Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh was a comedy  show broadcast from 1944 to 1954, firstly by BBC radio and subsequently  Radio Luxembourg. It starred Kenneth Horne and Richard Murdoch as  senior staff in a fictional RAF station battling red tape and wartime  inconvenience. Over the years the station turned to non-combatant  operations, became a country club and finally a newspaper, The Weekly  Bind. The programme's title may have been inspired by the RAF station at  Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, along with the word "binding",  period RAF slang for difficulties or problems accompanied by whining or  complaining. One of the most fondly remembered parts of the show was the  closing theme tune, with topical lyrics each week referring to the plot  of the episode, written and sung by members of the cast. Other cast  members included Sam Costa, Maurice Denham, Maureen Riscoe, Dora Bryan  and Nicholas Parsons.
