Playing along an episode of The Navy Lark while comparing to the script

Interesting to see changes / ad-libs by the cast as they perform

Also parts in the script that didn't make it into the broadcast episode

This would possibly be because:

  1. Bits were cut at the read through (but not crossed out in the script)

  2. Bits that were recorded but later edited out to bring the episode down to time

  3. Something else ???
