Had a quick look at my old proms material. I don't have a prospectus but I have a programme from August 1956, where Vaughan Williams 8th Symphony was given it's first Proms performance, in the presence of the great man, price of programme 6 pence. Also another from August 1957 where Alwyn's 3rd Symphony was played - also price 6 pence. Long, long concerts in those days.

Just heard a couple of far better (brief) “Breakfast” parodies in this episode of Ed Reardon’s Week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b09fy5xg (one about 5 minutes in, the other about 5 minutes before the end).
Brilliant impression of Petroc, I thought... until I looked at the cast list and saw it IS himself ... credit to him for participating in the send-up.

Reardon: Can we PLEASE hear some music, is that too much to ask?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
