"Hobson's Choice","Harold Brighouse","Home","18.5.1963/2030","Wilfred Pickles/Bernard Cribbins/Barbara Young".

It was repeated years later as a tribute to Wilfrid Pickles when he died in the seventies.
"The Sign Of The Four","Arthur Conan Doyle","Home","2.3.1963/2030","Carleton Hobbs/Norman Shelley". Cracking tale, expertly done. Producer Graham Gauld.
