Categories[edit]

Categories: 1935 or 1936 plays? Not sure: this goes for all of the Tonight at 8:30 plays. They were tried out in the provinces in 1935 and brought to London in early 1936. Views welcomed on this point. Tim riley (talk) 18:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, cats are not my strong suit. Ask at the theatre project talk page. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cycle[edit]

User:Tim riley: The Lead section notes that there were 10 plays. Then, the Background section mentions 9 plays. I understand that the original concept of 9 later became 10. Can you harmonise the two mentions? -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Tim riley talk 20:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment?[edit]

I have promoted this article to C-class, but there is a good argument for rating it B-class, as it appears to me to be well-referenced and fairly comprehensive now. TR, do you think this is much more to say about this play? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If there were I'd have said it! I don't put much store by Start-C-B-class distinctions, and I doubt if our readers do, either. C class will suffice for now, I think. Tim riley talk 21:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
