Status

Like the preceding series, Studio 4 was subject to the BBC's wiping policy. Only two episodes survive in their transmitted form in the BBC archives. One of these, Doctor Korczak and the Children, was adapted and directed by Rudolph Cartier, and was shown as part of a retrospective of Cartier's television career at the National Film Theatre in London in 1990.
