Whilst one or two names could well be hiding a bunch of session guys, I would be intrigued to learn a little more about some of the others if anyone can shed any light.

This is being broadcast in 8 parts, so runs until Friday July 4th.

The cast is the same as the 2006 remake of 'The Sullivan Mystery', i.e. Crawford Logan as Paul Temple and Gerda Stevenson as Steve.

This evening at 8.45pm. BBC Radio 3. Not only of historical interest, but a double whammy of glorious music and lyrics. They dont get much cleverer than this.
