Thank you! In this case it's really difficult to search for the info. Google knows nothing and all we can do is looking for tiny words in old newspapers. The fascinating thing, however, is that literally noone knows about those radio dramas. We are the first time after a very long time who try to find out more. I didn't know about the existence of 1941, 1944, 1971 and 1997 radio dramas - I found them only by a lucky accident. Now that I do the research, I realize there are many more productions from all around the world and people should know about them.

I didn't have much time last week (a lot of exams, no need to say more), but I will continue with my research. I want to create a page for the 1954 radio drama even though we don't know if it's the Tarnow one or not. Unfortunately, I found nothing about the cast. Seems the only way to find out more is to write someone from CBC.

Things are chaotic when it comes to the Australian dramas. There's a lot of mentions in various newspapers, but some are from early 1947 and some were published much later (like July-August). Also, it seems like Sonny Bridges (or Sunny), who played Diana, was quite popular for her role. I don't think she would become so famous after c. 10 episodes. I have a crazy theory and it may turn out to be correct. I think the radio drama travelled from town to town - they stayed somewhere for 2 weeks and then moved to another place. There were newspapers from (I think) Perth and Melbourne and they had competely different dates. Maybe the show wasn't broadcast for the whole country, maybe they played it again and again on local stations. I'll try to find out more tomorrow.

By the way, thank you for your work - I tried to do the timeline three years ago and it was really time-consuming. It's a lot of work.

I work on the radio dramas and observe GGF and 2016-film shooting. Also update FB page daily - there's a lot of Anne-related news every day. I want to finish the Kon'nichiwa episodes, but I didn't have much time. Also, I want to complete the AoGG Musical cast lists, but I think I would have to write someone from Charlottetown Festival and ask for help as I think I found everything I could. Perhaps to Daniel MacDonald, who wrote us here on Wiki 2 years ago - he was willing to help us.
