1. The label on the tape from CTV misidentifies it as a program in the series QUESTION PERIOD, consisting of an interview of politician Donald Macdonald, recorded on 1 July 1973, CTV tape number 2453-70B (LAC, at that time the National Film, Television and Sound Archives of the National Archives of Canada, thought it was acquiring the QUESTION PERIOD but got this instead).~2. Program includes commercials for Ex-Lax laxative, Neet hair removing lotion, Listerine mouthwash, Dentyne chewing gum, Dream Whip desert topping, Gaines Prime dog food, Raid insect repellent, Scholl's anti-perspirant foot spray and Phillips' Milk of Magnesia laxatives.~3. This is the only PIG AND WHISTLE broadcast known to exist, apart from a few in private hands, according to the Masterworks part of the AV Preservation Trust website.~4. The title is spelled THE PIG AND WHISTLE in the super at the start of the show.
