Something I have not been able to verify is the statement that this play is the "most produced play in British repertory theatre". The Mousetrap might have played the most continuous performances, but The Ghost Train has been cited as having the most productions. I also heard that all of the cast Members of Dad's Army had at one time been in an Arnold Ridley production of the play. The story goes that, if he heard a pal was down on his luck, Ridley would invite him on one of his periodic repertory tours. After years of such charity, he was written into Dad's Army as a thank you. It's one of those "nice" stories that fits with the Private Godfrey persona. 87.243.192.81 13:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Gordon
