Michael Henry Flanders OBE (1 March 1922 – 14 April 1975) was an English actor, broadcaster, and writer and performer of comic songs. He is best known for his stage partnership with Donald Swann.
As a young man Flanders seemed headed for a successful acting career. He contracted polio in 1943 while serving in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve and for the rest of his life was reliant on a wheelchair. He made a career as a prolific broadcaster on radio and later television, and together with his old schoolfriend, the composer Donald Swann, he wrote successful songs in the late 1940s and early and mid-1950s for revues in the West End of London. In 1956 they themselves performed some of these songs, along with new songs, in a two-man revue, At the Drop of a Hat. This show, and its successor, At the Drop of Another Hat, ran with occasional short breaks from 1956 to 1967 and played in theatres throughout the British Isles, the US, Australia and elsewhere.
Broadcast on BBC2 in 1994, and transferred from a ratty old VHS tape nearly 22 years later. Deinterlaced with yadif and upscaled to 720p50 since youtube doesn't support 576p50. Interlacing artifacts in the black and white footage were present in the original broadcast.
In this 1959 recording, Michael Flanders (1922-1975) and Donald Swann (1923-1994) perform three skits from their musical farrago, "At The Drop Of A Hat." This recording was made during a performance at the Fortune Theater in London. I created this video from the LP shown above, issued in 1960 on the Angel label, serial number 35797. The images in this video were taken from the LP and LP jacket; all notes on the reverse side of the jacket are included above. 1. A Song of the Weather 2. The Reluctant Cannibal (2:03) 3. Design for Living (6:00) Flanders is famous for another 1959 recording -- Peter and the Wolf (Петя и волк) by Sergei Prokofiev -- generally considered the definitive narration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aufKagbxf0
The Hippopotamus Song by Flanders & Swann (live) Recorded at the Fortune Theatre, London, 2 May 1959
The Original Nursery Rhyme January brings the snow, Makes our feet and fingers glow. February brings the rain, Thaws the frozen lake again. March brings breezes sharp and shrill, Shakes the dancing daffodil. April brings the primrose sweet, Scatters daisies at our feet. May brings flocks of pretty lambs, Skipping by their fleecy dams. June brings tulips, lillies, roses, Fills the children's hands with posies. Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. August brings the sheaves of corn, Then the harvest home is borne. Warm September brings the fruit, Sportsmen then begin to shoot. Brown October brings the pheasant, Then to gather nuts is pleasant. Dull November brings the blast, Then the leaves go whirling past. Chill December brings the sleet, Bla...

A History of the Song Greensleeves as told by Michael Flanders
As a King's Singers fan, I waited years for the release in digital of some of their earlier albums. Most of such albums were re-released in CD but in a few cases I'm rather sure this never has occured. Various tracks are downloadable in compressed format, but I didn't find the listening experience up to CD standards and the vinyl sounds snappier, more open. Tracks of the KS's first LPs have been randomly put in the various CD compilations released since the early Nineties; others were or are performed live by the KS. Some music from the KS's repertoire, however, seems to have been dropped for ever by them (phisiological after all) and only survives in the grooves of vinyls - and in EMI's vaults. Besides, not only there are songs and arrangements hardly ever performed or recorded by anybod...

We’re living in a time of economic babble, where politicians and economists throw out words like “reform,” “privatize,” and “austerity” to prop up corrupt capitalist opportunists. So says our guest this week, Trotskyist economist Michael Hudson, author of J is for Junk Economics. Plus, a report from Diverse Filmmaker’s Alliance on the Yemeni bodega workers who went on strike in New York to protest the Muslim Ban. And Laura’s F-Word on why Donald Trump’s new budget isn’t about cuts -- it’s about conversions. The budget wants to convert public dollars into private funding for military research and spending, for the only government apparatus that never gets audited.

Stephanie Flanders, former BBC economics editor, has a very personal interest in the battle to beat polio. Her father, Michael Flanders, one half of the world-famous singing duo of the 50s and 60s, Flanders and Swann, was paralysed by the infection when he was 21. He used a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and died early at 53 through complications caused by the disease. Stephanie was just six. But the desperate search for a vaccine was far from straightforward. Stephanie discovers that it is the story of decades of battling between good and bad science, celebrity scientists with giant egos, prepared to take enormous risks to be first with a vaccine, and countless innocent victims. By the end, Stephanie realises there might have been a polio vaccine years earlier, and hundreds of thous...
