If I remember correctly, Bill and Ben were shown on a Wednesday - perhaps you could check which of these days was a Wednesday.

Further to the above, neither was a Wednesday, so I may be off course.

From Thursday 18th december 1952,  26 black and white episodes were shown,

Sorry, the system is automatically underscoring the entire address line.

Only one underscore character, after the second "timeline" :

johnalex, your link works fine if you delete the </P> that appears at the end of the address.

Thanks for your note Badlad. Yes, you're quite correct about removing those last four characters (which were not in my original text.)  That's why I always make it a habit of testing my links after posting, in case they don't work from the red label!  Thanks again, ja.
