### Series 2 (1957-8)

Currently the earliest series with surviving episodes that are extant in the archives. This series was the first to be produced by Sydney Newman, who took over as Head of Drama at ABC midway during the series from Vance, who was promoted to a senior position in the company. Due to the live format of the series at the time, several episodes were pulled from transmission owing to technical failure or problems with the cast and crew. The broadcast of "The Shining Hour" was delayed by a week due to a faulty camera crane which could not be repaired in time, and the planned transmission of "Trial By Candlelight" was cancelled owing to the untimely illness of actress Freda Jackson, the production was subsequently remounted and tele-recorded for later transmission. The final episode that would have concluded the series "The House of Bernarda Alba" had to be pulled from transmission, after director Ted Kotcheff fell ill immediately prior to the live broadcast.

### Series 3 (1958-9)

The first full series to be produced by Newman, who pushed for more original material, that led to commissioning teleplays from the likes of Malcolm Hulke, Tad Mosel, Mordecai Richler and John Glennon respectively. This in turn helped boost the series popularity, and by June 1959 when the current series ended, it was consistently in the top ten of audience ratings, with figures regularly exceeding 12 million viewers for 32 out of the 37 weeks the series was broadcast. As the programme was still broadcast live, production issues continued to occur; notably during the live broadcast of "Underground" on 30 November 1958, when actor Gareth Jones collapsed and died from a heart attack in between his two scenes. Newman instructed director Ted Kotcheff to continue the play and instruct the actors to improvise, as a way of avoiding the missing character from being noticed by the audience. This series also happens to have the highest number of episodes, with 52 editions broadcast between September 1958 - September 1959.

### Series 4 (1959-60)

Production of the series moved Teddington Studios during the summer of 1959, which allowed production to be pre-recorded on videotape. With the emergence of the Angry Young Men movement at the time, Newman sought to capitalise on this and commission original plays from writers within the group, including Clive Exton, Harold Pinter and Alun Owen. The series shifted its focus to showing more realist material that focussed on the lives of the working classes, in contrast to the adaptions of high-brow classical material of earlier series. Two further episodes were pulled from transmission. "Three on a Gas Ring", a drama about a single mother who shows no remorse for her situation was banned by the ITA due to its subject matter, whilst "Two on a Tightrope" which was originally recorded in 1958, was scheduled for transmission on three different occasions, including the 22/6/1958, 3/1/1960 and 22/5/1960 before being dropped from the transmission schedule permanently.

### Series 5 (1960-1)

This series had the longest run of any season, running for 15 months in total, although some episodes later on in the run were broadcast in fortnightly intervals, as opposed to its traditional weekly format. One of the notable plays of the series was "Lena, O My Lena" by Alun Owen, which concluded the trilogy of plays about working class life in Northern England that he began in the previous series, "No Trains to Lime Street" and "After the Funeral". The three plays were critically acclaimed, and subsequently Owen won the Directors Merit Award.

### Series 6 (1962)

Following a hiatus of four months, the series returned to transmission in May 1962, with the episodes initially broadcast weekly, while the last three episode were broadcast fortnightly, there was also a brief mid-season break during August. At 11 episodes long, this was the shortest run during Newman's tenure, although a further episode "The Trial of Dr. Fancy" was taped but pulled from transmission by the ITA as they feared the play would cause offence, it was subsequently transmitted at the start of Series 8 in 1964. Robert Muller contributed two plays that series, including "Night Conspirators" and "Afternoon of a Nymph". The later being a stinging exposé of the underbelly of the entertainment industry. Muller would go onto write five more plays for the programme during the course of the decade. The kitchen sink element was gradually dropped from the series, after Newman announced "no more plays about 'kitchen sinks', unless they are brilliant", although realist plays continued to be commissioned, they became more infrequent.

### Series 7 (1962-3)

This series was the last for Newman as producer, who would depart from ABC when his contract expired in December 1962 to take on the position of Head of Drama at the BBC. He was succeeded by Leonard White who took over as producer mid-way during the series run starting with "Into the Dark", White had acted in a couple of plays in earlier series, and had produced the spin-off shows including Out of This World and Armchair Mystery Theatre, along with the first two series of The Avengers. He would go onto to have the longest run as producer, staying on until Series 14 in 1969.

### Series 8 (1963-4)

The first full series with Leonard White as producer, although his work as producer is often overlooked by his predecessor Newman's legacy, he continued to commission and produce notable plays for the series Although 22 episodes were transmitted, two further episodes "The Bandstand" and "The Blood Knot" were also produced but dropped from transmission due to scheduling issues, although the latter play's subject matter about apartheid may have been a factor towards its cancellation. White continued to his predecessor's work, by commissioning plays from upcoming writers, including John Hopkins, Andrew Sinclair and Len Deighton respectively

### Series 9 (1964-5)

This series continued its shift away from the social realist themes of earlier seasons, with plots focussing more on fantasy and horror, such as "The Trial of Dr. Fancy" by Clive Exton which is a surrealist satirical courtroom drama about a Doctor (John Lee) who is accused of performing bizarre medical procedures which was notably held back from transmission for two years over its content, and "The Hothouse" by Donald Churchill, about a supermarket tycoon Harry Fender (Harry H. Corbett) who has become increasingly obsessed with growing exotic plants within his house and turns his property into a hothouse. Notably, this story, along with "The Man Who Came to Die" by Reginald Marsh, marked a rare instance where the writer of the episode, also played a principal role within the cast. This series was met with stiff competition from the BBC's The Wednesday Play which began transmission in October 1964, which was produced by White's predecessor Sydney Newman, and would go onto have a greater impact than Newman's former show. Two further episodes were produced but pulled from transmission, "Unexpected Summer" and "Old Man's Fancy" were cancelled due to scheduling issues.

## Thames era (1969-1974)
### Series 14 (1969)

The first series to air following the franchise merger that formed Thames Television the previous July; it was the last series to be produced by Leonard White and also the final one to be produced and transmitted in monochrome. Following the show's acquisition by Thames, it was no longer aired on Saturday and was moved to a weekday slot instead. Due to the policy of wiping at the time, many episodes from this series were junked, and only one episode "Edward the Confessor" is known to exist in the archives. A further 4 episodes were written for this series but were not taped.

### Series 17 (1972)

Kim Mills took over as producer for this series, she also directed several plays in earlier and subsequent series. This series was troubled by political controversy when one of the plays "The Folk Singer" by Dominic Behan, ran into a dispute with the ITA with its subject matter, since it was a black comedy about The Troubles in Northern Ireland at the time that delved into both sides of the conflict. The play was eventually transmitted, albeit a later time slot than usual.

### Series 19 (1974)

Kim Mills had returned as producer, this series also has the shortest length of the program's entire run with only 4 episodes long . By the time the final series went into production, Thames decided to hand production duties over to Euston Films which had gradually established itself as a production unit that specialised in producing dramas shot entirely on 16mm film, as opposed to the traditional medium of studio based videotape that had been used at the time. The show was subsequently superseded by Armchair Cinema, which began airing in conjunction with the transmission dates of the episodes during this series. The anthology strand would subsequently return as a spin off series Armchair Thriller, which ran for two series produced between 1978 and 1980.
