The first edition of Garrison Theatre was broadcast on 10 November 1939. The variety show was devised to entertain wartime audiences by Harry S Pepper and Charles Shadwell. Shadwell drew on his First World War experience as entertainments officer in the West Yorkshire Regiment to create a radio version of the revues with which he used to entertain the troops. The raucous atmosphere was aided by an invited audience of service men and women.
