This recording is part of a series broadcast by the BBC in 1966. It has never been released commercially but is included here for its historical importance, and because many fans own pirated tapes. Notable cast members include George Baker, an octogenarian, in his fifth decade of G&S recordings; and Prunella Scales, who would later star with John Cleese in Faulty Towers See the historical tour for further discussion.
