Trivia of the Week


The Live in Israel episode was broadcast in America on 5th November 1983. However in the U.K. the BBC decided not to broadcast the episode  as part of Season 3 in 1984.  Possibly because they had broadcast the Cast live in concert at the Royal Albert Hall the previous year and felt it was too similar  or possibly because they weren't happy with the production values.

It didn't receive a U.K. broadcast until the Winter of 1992 when it was broadcast on the Children's Channel. 

In The Netherlands it was broadcast on March 3rd 1984. In Belgium it was broadcast on 28th April 1988 and in France 25th January 1989.
