Ending It

Ending It was a 1939 BBC TV one-off play, written by Val Gielgud, and starring John Robinson, Joan Marion, and Dino Galvani.^[1] It was 30 minutes in duration. It was broadcast live on 25 August 1939.

The most unusual aspect of the production was that it was later remade for Australian television in 1957 at a time when Australian drama production was rare.^[4] It was directed by William Sterling.^[5]

Broadcast live on Sydney station ABN-2 on 19 June 1957, a kinescope was made of the broadcast and shown on Melbourne television station ABV-2 on 19 July 1957.^[6] It is not known if the kinescope recording still exists.
