~ Audio drama

Annotation

Series 9, Episode 12
First Broadcast: 1959-01-12
Recorded: 1959-01-11
Author: Spike Milligan
Producer: John Browell
Notes: Without Peter Sellers but with Kenneth Connor, Valentine Dyall, Graham Stark, Jack Train and John Snagge (pre-recorded). Announced as 'The Spy, or . . .'. Sellers developed throat trouble shortly before the recording and the other four actors were brought in by John Browell at very short notice. They take the various parts written for Sellers, with minimal re-writing. Dyall replaces Gryptype-Thynne, Connor replaces Willium and a few others, Stark replaces Henry Crun (the Min and Henry episode becomes an Irish couple who are not as successful as the other replacements) and Train as Colonel Chinstrap, replaces Major Bloodnok.
