Extant TV plays of Christopher Muir
by Thor-Delta | created - 21 Sep 2015 | updated - 21 Sep 2015 | PublicTV plays produced by Christopher Muir that are confirmed to be extant, along with ones which are possibly extant. These aired on Australian broadcaster ABC.
Virtually all of his TV plays were recorded as kinescope recordings, and later ones (1963-onwards?) as video-tape. However, ABC discarded a lot of their kinescopes and tapes during the 1970s.
It is possible there are additional TV plays by him which survive.
