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 John Cameron, who played bass-baritone parts in most of the Sargent recordings; and Eric Shilling, who played the Lord Chancellor in the 1962 Sadler's Wells Iolanthe. See the historical tour for further discussion.
