The series debuted in the UK on Saturday 15 September 1956, on weekend ITV franchise holders ABC Weekend TV (Midlands and North) and ATV (London), with ABC showing the series half an hour ahead of ATV, and on the NBC network in the United States nine days later. The last episode was shown on 13 April 1957 on ATV and on 16 September 1957 on NBC. It later transferred networks in the US to ABC, who repeated the episodes from October 1957 to September 1958. The series was gradually introduced on the different ITV regional channels in the UK as they came on the air from 1956 to 1962. ==Episodes==

Air dates are for ABC Midlands and North; ITV regions varied date and order. The bolded episode titles were shot in colour. ==Home release==

The complete series of 30 episodes were released as a DVD boxed set in the UK by Network DVD in 2004. Of the 14 episodes made in colour, only 12 are presented in colour on the Network DVD release for financial reasons. The other two colour episodes ('The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Missing Princess') are taken from black and white prints. In the US, the series was released as a DVD boxed set on 19 August 2008 by Timeless Media Group with the exact same 12 episodes presented in colour, taken from US public domain prints. In addition the end credits for episode 24 (The Bridge) are wrong and are in fact the end credits for episode 22 (Double Identity). The end credits do not mention the actress (Zena Walker) who played the "Angela" character, but instead credits Howard Pays who plays the characters Sir Richard and Sir Alfred in the Double Identity episode. ==See also==
