I stand corrected. I don't think the show has played in these
parts for many decades, at least on free to air tv. (It may
turn up on cable, or as we aptly call it down here, pay tv).
I'll have to check it out, if I ever get a chance - the last
time this show was on I was far too young to pick up on any
subtleties. I liked the theme tune, though.
