"DR PAUL"
Sir,-I was surprised at your answer to "Long-Suffering Listener’s" letter asking when she will be hearing the last episode of the radio serial Dr Paul. In spite of the blunt editorial answer "No" { think I can acquaint "Long-Suffering Listener" with some more or less accurate information on this serial. It has been running for 15 years ‘in America and is still going. The episodes are recorded in Australia using local talent there. from-scripts that are forwarded from America. The players are unaware of their ultimate fate in the story, their advancé knowledge of the story would be only about. 15 to 25 episodes ahead. It is the practice to record say 15 or so episodes over-a period of a couple of days-this was evidenced last year sometime when the woman who plays the current "Elizabeth" was included in the cast of a stage company that toured New Zealand-sufficient episodes had to be recorded to last for
her period of absence from Australia. The foregoing information was broadcast I think from 2ZB when the serial "Elizabeth" was interviewed in Sunday Supplement. My opinion is that ‘"Long-Suffering Listener’ can expect Dr Paul to be running up till at least 1963 and possibly
bevond.
