The popular World War II comedy show ITMA, broadast from North Wales during a bombing raid Early in 1941, when the BBC appeared to report a camel was ill at the zoo, listeners weren't to know that this was the coded signal for BBC Variety to move from Bristol to the relative safety of North Wales. From April, the hit show ITMA came from the Penrhyn Hall; stars like Arthur Askey strolled the streets of Bangor. They weren't entirely safe, however. When a bomb exploded at Neuadd y Penrhyn in the middle of a song by Kay Cavendish and Paula Green, the item was recorded. You can just hear the explosions.
