Note ep04 was recorded the day before ep03, probably because of availability of an actor. ep19, 20 , 21 I have to confirm character names as the person who photocopied the cost sheets at NFSA didn't flatten the pages of the bound book enough to read the left hand side and several letters in the character names are unknown. It happened with a few different episodes but I had the other episodes and listened to the character names. I will update this log when I get the chance to hear these 3 episodes.
As you will see, there are a very high number of top actors in this series.
