The editors’ order is judgement, not arithmetic; the listeners’ order is your ballots, one per entry, and you can change or withdraw a vote at any time. Programme dates and networks are taken from the surviving broadcast record; the recordings attached are real transfers held in this archive, with their own titles and dates left exactly as they came.
