Replying to

Actually I don't think so, Peter. It all depends on the year, of course. I'd take a stab at 1956, just after wrestling had restarted on ITV. But BBC programmes would still have been in the memories of a few, and certainly of the promoter. Maybe at that time they also expected BBC to follow ITV's lead and resume wrestling coverage.

Mind you, it might be much more recent: perhaps I am being sucked into the gloriously faded handbill and Main Mask's denying us of the prices.
