This was in the days when TV plays were broadcast "live", and only the first two of the six episodes were

recorded on film for posterity. For many years, it was thought that this was due to a technician's strike, or that the

Senior Television Engineer had been so disappointed by the results from the first two recordings that he refused to

allow them to continue, but researchers have been unable to find any record of this. The most recently proposed

explanation is that the first two episodes were being recorded for later transmission in Canada, but that somebody

called a halt after the second episode due to disappointment with the technical quality. And the fact that there was a

fly sitting in the middle of the monitor screen for much of the recording of episode two.
