The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) transmitted a live radio relay of "Stand up and Sing" in April 1932, and Murdoch was in another such relay in 1934 in an entertainment called "Bubbles". His first studio work for the corporation was in 1936 in a radio show called "Tunes of the Town", and during 1937 and early 1938 he took part in five broadcasts by the fledgling BBC Television service, including an adaptation of Noël Coward's one-act comedy with music, "Red Peppers" in which he played the Coward role.
