NOTES: For 38 of its 42 suburban weeks Mr Perrin and Mr Traill stumped up The Passionate Friends and, for the vast majority of the time they were seen on Tuesdays (ranking 14th for number and 12th for % of total plays being on that night of the week). Impossible to accumulate many points with such little faith.
