Hello everyone,

It appears to me that, if Dean is correct, then both series references
would be correct. As far as the BBC is concerned this is the 54th
series of recordings; as far as the audience is concerned then it is
the 57th series of broadcasts. Personally I prefer the latter
designation as I'm a listener rather than a producer.
