Nice to have you back. Is this episode of Points of View known about? It reviews Suspense as a recently started show, so it's probably May or early June 1962. Cricket historians might be able to date the mouse incident. Valerie Singleton is one reading the letters? |

The 1st Test match England vs Pakistan ran from 31st May - 4th June 1962
The 2nd Test match England vs Pakistan ran from 21st - 23rd June 1962
The World Cup in Chile ran from 30th May - 17th June 1962.
1st series Suspense ran from 30th April - 4th July 1962
I am 99% certain it would be Monday 4th June 1962 edition of Points of View, the reason being this was the only edition between the dates i mentioned as above in the time allocated to be have a broadcast time slot of 15 MINUTES, where other editions ONLY had a 5 MINUTE slot, according to BBC Genome.

They also mention the ongoing World Cup.
Might it have been retained because of the montage of BBC building inside and out?
Loved the presenter's reference to celebrity actors behaving towards eaxh other, in public, "as thogh they were all members of the same lovely, lovely family".
But oh, what we'd give for some of those much-decried repeats!
