The show was eventually broadcast a week later on Tuesday {{Date\|1953-03-31}} at 9.35pm (except the Midlands). It reached a peak listenership of 2.2m. The show's scheduled repeat slot of Sunday {{Date\|1953-03-29}} at 1.45pm was also replaced with a revised schedule due to Queen Mary's death, however, in this case the replacement was a broadcast of the state funeral. The repeat on the [[BBC Light Programme\|Light Programme]] was also broadcast a week later on Sunday {{Date\|1953-04-05}} at 1.45pm to a Goon Show ratings record of 6.6m listeners.
