Big day for Radio Luxembourg, Radio Normandie and other "outlaw" stations has been Sunday, when the prim BBC goes completely Sabbath. On Sundays, the "outlaws" used to pour forth musical and variety programs acted and recorded in London and air-expressed to the foreign transmitters, briskly dinning Britishers with radio commodities like Alka-Seltzer, Lux, Pepsodent, Kraft Cheese...
