Can someone check the veracity of "(except in "The Angus Prune Story" aired on 18 April 1966)" as it was added by 203.97.2.243  who has been vandalising other pages.  Tiles 05:40, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Just for the record, "The Angus Prune Story" (the footballer one) is in series 2, episode 6; the "Robin Hood" sketch is in series 2, episode 11; and the "Mr Prune and Miss Bedsock" sketch is in series 3, episode 2. --Paul A 14:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fiftieth Anniversary Episode 

message: Please can we discuss the names of the various ISIRTA Plays articles and form a plan for any renames or merging? Original names were like ISIRTA Plays - "F" etc, a few are now renamed to "A" plays - ISIRTA etc. The issues which need to be sorted out include:
* how to structure a name including alphabetical parts?
*: quoting the "A" etc make it look as if reliable sources might use this nomenclature or subdivision: I rather doubt that but if so we would need to refer to such a reliable source.
*: the reader may be better served if the main subject of the article comes first, as in the originally chosen titles. We have for example ISIRTA Songs too as well as the redirect ISIRTA
*: we should have a look at WP:MOS: I think an ndash will be better than a hyphen in the titles and certainly a range of letters should have an ndash: A–E.
* perhaps fewer articles covering a range of letters would be better and make the editorial reason for the division clearer? We can merge if necessary.
In addition:
* The links in the main article should be section links, for example (choosing a play I remember):Jorrocks Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man.
* (Incidentally, should that not be "Jorrocks' " with a posessive apostrophe afterwards?)
* The links in the navbox should be in a second level list for accessibility and we could lose the quotes there, thus:
* ISIRTA Plays:** A** B
: etc.

message: This article asserts that Kendall played all female characters except for Lady Constance. The article at TVTropes, on the other hand, states that Brooke-Taylor played various female characters. Which is correct? Jcejhay (talk) 13:08, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I remember from listening to the series; Tim Brooke-Taylor did play several female characters but most of them were based on the Lady Constance character. He also played the "Good Fairy" in at least one episode. I'm not sure if that counts :-) --Roly (talk) 13:59, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kendall, Brooke-Taylor and female characters 

message: This paragraph seems to need work, though I'm not knowledgeable enough about the show to undertake it:
Although earlier BBC radio shows such as Much Binding in the Marsh, Take It From Here, and Beyond Our Ken had conditioned listeners to a mix of music, sketches and jokes in a 30-minute show, and Round the Horne was also doing this, ISIRTA accelerated the transitions, and it certainly seemed more improvised. It was one of those programmes where the listener was unlikely to get all the jokes on first hearing, so would have to listen to the scheduled repeat (or a tape recording) to discover what they had missed. It thus helped prepare the television audience for At Last the 1948 Show, Spike Milligan's Q series, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and The Goodies. It also may have influenced other spoof-based British radio programmes such as Radio Active, On the Hour, The Sunday Format, The News Huddlines, and later Bleak Expectations.
