Tony - As is often the case, the Wikipedia broadcast dates are inaccurate. If the authors of such pages don't have access to Radio Times it's a shame they don't either search the daily radio listings in The Times online archive or invest in a copy of Tatchell's Guide To BBC Radio Comedy. Only five episodes were broadcast at 9:30pm Fridays from 24th January 1964. The sixth and final episode was broadcast at 9:00pm on Tuesday 5th May 1964 [not 5th February]

John - If you can find them I, and I'm sure others, would appreciuate an upload somewhere. I don't have any episodes myself.

Hi all,

I realize that this is entirely off topic for Just a Minute, but I'm hoping
someone here can help as some of you seem to be experts on BBC comedy. What
can you tell me about the show listed in the subject? I have four of them
but with no dates. Running times seem to be about 27:30 and I would make a
random guess that it's from the early 1970s, but I don't know. They say
that it's based on an Australian series. Do you know anything else about
the series and is there any kind of a log? How many episodes were produced?
It sounds like an interesting series, similar in some ways to the Goon Show
but different. Thanks for any information you might have.
