Listen for: Costello's repeated marriage proposals to Marilyn Maxwell and the running confusion over the word 'aloof' and his supposed flight around the world.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
