Listen for: Valerie's quarrel with Gordon Dunning in his office, and the questioning of the cast by Captain Danbury on the theatre stage.
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.
