Airdates edit

I'm inclined to think the airdates for this show could be wrong. If this was shown on ATV it couldn't have aired before 1955 since that was the year ITV started broadcasting. This show's imdb profile has a start date of February 1956 - probably more accurate since ATV began in the Midlands in February 1956. I'll leave it as it is for now, but can anyone give a definite airdate? Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I believe the program originally broadcast on ITV September 9, 1955 to July 24, 1956, but the only reference I can find is the website BFI Screenonline JimVC3 (talk) 20:07, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
