* - Episode 1 was scheduled to be broadcast on 11th January 2013, but it wasn't (they broadcast an incorrect pre-recorded continuity announcement saying it was the end of term followed by silence, and then Radio 4 returned, mid-sentence, to re-broadcasting the World Service), nor was it initially released on the BBC iPlayer. However Episode 1 was still released as a podcast in 2013 and made available for streaming on the School Radio website, and the broadcasts picked up the following week with Episode 2. Episode 1 was broadcast when the series was repeated in 2015.

  1. By 2013 the BBC had ceased giving credits for schools radio programmes in announcements after the programme, or on their website. The only source for credits to this programme is therefore the production company's website, but even that does not give the full cast details or music credits.
