[edit] Please note the date: 1956, not 1981!

A quick note explaining and discussing my imminent reversion of several edits from IP number 66.75.48.200. The two edits in question are here and here.

Taking these two edits together, I am assuming that the editor is confusing this radio series with the 1981 radio series that Brian Sibley co-wrote. He was not involved with this 1956 one (he was seven at the time!), and there is a source for the "no known copies" have survived for the 1956 series (I will dig that out later). Hence I am reverting this and adding hatnotes at the top of both articles to try and prevent future misunderstandings like this. Carcharoth 19:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
