Television version

A version for television aired on Australian broadcaster ABC. Originally shown live in Sydney on 5 June 1957, it was kinescoped, and shown in Melbourne on 5 July 1957.[2]

According to an article in the section Television News of the 29 May 1957 edition of Sydney Morning Herald, it starred Don Crosby as a scientist, Bruce Beeby as an M15 official, with Betty Lucas, Winifred Green and Reg Lye in supporting roles.[3]

The National Film and Sound Archive may hold a kinescope recording of the program.[4][5] This would make it one of the earliest extant examples of Australian television drama.
