Notes
Some of the production credits that originally only appeared in the Radio Times listing for episode 6 shown in January 1959, appear in the listing for the omnibus editions broadcast the following January. As well as the credits for special effects work by Jack Kine and Bernard Wilkie and Trevor Duncan's music, we learned that the BBC Radiophonic Workshop provided sound effects, and the telerecordings made from the original live broadcasts were edited by Sheila Tomlinson.
