Norman and Henry Bones, Boy Detectives Archive Status

[ifryer]

I'm doing some research on the career of Charles Hawtrey and wondered what the archive status of his long-running BBC radio series Norman and Henry Bones, Boy Detectives was.

Are any excerpts or episodes available to listen to?

Thanks in advance.

I'd never heard of it. Genome says it ran from 1945-1965.

Don't know if it's correct, but this site says only one episode survives:

There's a 30 sec clip here:

Thanks Dan, that's really useful.
