Plot

The film tells the story of the Director General of the National Broadcasting Group (Will Hay), who promotes the ambitious Head of Complaints to Programme Director (Clifford Mollison) in an attempt to stem the number of complaints he is receiving owing to the station's overly intellectual programming. In 1930s British slang, the acronym "NBG" stood for "no bloody good". The character played by Hay is clearly intended to be a satirical parody of Lord Reith, and the NBG the BBC.
