The show ended in 1940, allowing Askey to pursue a career in film and Murdoch to join the Royal Air Force.
An Audiobook CD, featuring extracts from the Band Waggon radio show along with other comedy recordings by Askey and Murdoch, was issued in 2006.
A film version of the series was released in 1940; it was directed by Marcel Varnel and again featured the double act of Askey and Murdoch.
The plot involves the latter pair using unorthodox methods to get their show onto the BBC, and running into enemy agents at a castle in Sussex.
The film also features the music of Jack Hylton, the singing talents of Patricia Kirkwood, dancing girls, and the clowning of Moore Marriott.
