This programme (on Compendium Vol 14) came from an acetate disc cut from a domestic tape recording, probably taken from an AM transmission (from the same collection as 4/18). The opening and closing were missing. The closing for this show, 4/18 and 4/19 were taken from the recording of 4/15 issued in Compendium Vol 13, as this is the best surviving fourth series closing announced by Wallace Greenslade and crediting Larry Stephens, who drops out of the credits for 4/21 onwards.The opening was completed using material from other recordings in the same collection.[2]
