(According to a couple of sources I've seen, this is the production for which David talked his way into playing a small part after learning it was being recorded in the studio next to the one where he was doing a radio play. The stories make it sound as if this was his first role in anything DW-related, but Wikipedia lists his role in the DW audio Colditz as having occurred two years before.)
