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 Peter Pratt, the former D'Oyly Carte patter baritone, as the Major-General; and Owen Brannigan, who appeared in many of the Sargent sets and in the 1968 Pirates. See the historical tour for further discussion.
