Cast

The project was originally called Mr Walker Wants to Know. John Corfleld successfully defended an action by Ernest Dudley, a radio writer, to stop him from using that title and the title What Would You Do, Chums? which Dudley claimed was based on a script he had sold to Jack Buchanan which was subsequently sold to British National.
