Extent	1 file
Description	The episode was first broadcast on 12 November 1946. [It was likely broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation.] [The episode number (43) appears to take into account all episodes created up to that point, rather than only those in the same series. This episode was likely to have either been part of series 1 or series 2.] The script was annotated [by Richmal Crompton?] in c1946. The annotated script was photocopied in c1995 and the photocopies were annotated [by Richmal Ashbee? niece of Richmal Crompton] in 1995. One of the 1995 annotations states that the script was read in 1995 [likely read out at a "William Day"]. The file appears to contain one photocopy of the full script, and then further photocopies, with each additional copy annotated to highlight the lines of a different character. The file also contains notes [made by Richmal Ashbee? niece of Richmal Crompton] written in preparation for the reading of the script; the notes were written in c1995.
