The World Wide Gangshow Forum

One of the Problems about having this "Holborn Rover" writing the all the early London Gang Shows was that there were certain 'Scout Masters' and 'Rover Scouts' and 'Scouters' who claimed to be this mystery author.Infact having no named author for the early Shows also meant that certain 'Other Material' could be included or passed off as coming from the London Show.There seems to have been quite a few examples of what might be called "Fake Ralph".Some are so like pieces written by Ralph that many seem to think they are written by him.Infact some lists containing Ralphs material contain some of these pieces.There is a general view that Ralph wrote and rewrote,edited and then tested certain Songs and Sketches.This he certainly did although he did not make this "Work in Progress" material available to Boy Scout Troops or Rover Scout Crews.There were and are a whole host of Writers and Producers who shared in some of the Genius for writing in a 'Boy Scout,Gang Show.Scouting idiom'.It's about Time to give Ralph a bit of a "Feet Up" while we look at some of these other "Gang Show Greats"............"Come On give the Wolf Cub's a chance to get their Fairy Dresses On"."
