The show had been scheduled to be recorded at 7.45pm on Sunday, {{Date\|1952-02-10}}, but due to the nation's official mourning period it was rescheduled to Sunday, {{Date\|1952-02-17}} at 7.45pm.

			Due to the show's initial cancellation the scheduled broadcast on the [[BBC Home Service\|Home Service]] on Tuesday, {{Date\|1952-02-17}} at 9.30pm was also cancelled, and replaced by repeats of ''The World Today'' and ''[[Everyman]]''.

			==Show Trivia==
			The day after [[Show 20]] was recorded, {{Date\|1952-02-03}}, the [[BBC Home Service\|Home Service]] had decided to take up its option on a second batch of six shows, and indeed fix an option for six beyond that. Then two days later came the news that Britain had feared for months; [[George VI\|King George VI]]’s health had deteriorated over the last year and he had died in his sleep on the morning of Wednesday, {{Date\|1952-02-06}}. This resulted in most of the BBC’s scheduled radio broadcasts being removed and replaced by the same programme of orchestral music across each channel. Variety shows were removed until after the period of mourning, which concluded with the royal funeral on Friday, {{Date\|1952-02-15}}.
