A Note on the Log.
I've used the London dates and added footnotes where episodes were first
broadcast in the Midland Home Service. There was one not uncommon situation
where the same episode is listed three weeks apart. I take that as meaning
this episode was postponed (and what went out in its place is unknown).
I couldn't find 1/6 - maybe it was only in the Midland Home Service; maybe
it didn't happen.
