I'm the principal baritone with the D'Oyly Carte. You may have heard of us: we perform Gilbert and Sullivan operas exclusively, giving as modern a twist on things as the old lot would have liked. I've done some BBC radio broadcasts and I've been on a few recordings with Marjorie—my wife, our principal soubrette. It's rather strange to be so attractive when Americans say that people in my country are utterly not that, but it is what it is. And I like it so. It's 1936 and we're on tour once more.
