I had thought that the superb 1975 TV movie "The Night That Panicked America" was the only such show recreating the Orson Welles broadcast. T

================
There was a programme about the "War of the Worlds" 1938 broadcast on 
BBC Radio 4 on Saturday night. They played extracts from the programme. 
The question is: Was the programme committed to a transcription disc 
(meaning it didn't go out live), or was this a Boris Rose effort?
