'The Men from the Ministry' ran for 14 series between 1962 and 1977. Deryck Guyler replaced Wilfrid Hyde-White from 1966. Sadly many episodes didn't survive in the archive, however the 蜜芽传媒's Transcription Service re-recorded 14 shows in 1980 - never broadcast in the UK, until the arrival of 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4 Extra.

Producer: Edward Taylor

First broadcast on the 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4 in July 1977.
