Notes:

• Dates and sequence: We do not have a studio log chronicling for every episode the recording and broadcast dates, the Transcription Service number, contents or participants.
  We do have a mostly complete list of broadcast dates and the TS numbers.
  We know that the TS number sequence is not necessarily the order of broadcasts and that not all episodes were transcribed for distribution.
  For most episodes we cannot be absolutely certain what the original broadcast date or sequence was.
  This document will follow general chronology of dates and series but primarily focus on the TS numbers. If non-TS episodes do surface, we'll note them.
• Explanation of color: As with other GBCC documents, rows in gray denote episodes thought to have existed but for which no recording exists in our collection.

Series 12-28 (1964-1977) The Powel-James-Longland Era

Anne Scott-James joined the panel in episode 12-3 after the death of Nancy Spain.

Although this is the era of the most frequently rebroadcast episodes, there are relatively few episodes that can be precisely dated. Therefore, the TS episode table will be the dominant one on this page. There are benchmark episodes revealed by venue or cast substitutions. Edward J. Mason died in 1971, so the compiler role was taken over by Jack Longland and Peter Moore. This helps to separate early and late episodes within the era.
