Notes
○ The Governor's Lady featured a special guest appearance for this triple bill only of Eileen Derbyshire - better known as Emily Bishop (nee Nugent) in the long-running British television soap opera Coronation Street. By the time she performed in Scarborough, she had already been in the television show for five years.
○ The Governor's Lady was presented as part of a triple bill (entitled Out Of Thin Air) alongside See The Pretty Lights by Alan Plater and The Day Dumbfounded Got His Pylon by Henry Livings.
