===========
Perhaps not so expensive--it's a double, and includes 15 films. The BBC 
one is interesting because it includes some technical stuff such as 
rehearsing, sound effects, relays to regional transmitters, 
co-ordinating regional transmissions. Also appearances by George Bernard 
Shaw, H.G. Wells, G.K. Chesterton and J.B. Priestley. Also Eric 
Maschwitz in his pre-"A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" days.

Henry Hall is seen getting ready to play "Buddy's Wednesday Outing", but 
it never happens!
