As others have said, John, the Drama channel is No 20. In the current
Radio Times (at least in the copy that I have) the Drama programmes are
listed in the right-hand column of pages 54,64, . . . 114. In particular
on page 74 in the r-h column about 3" down from the start of the
letter-press the Alleyn listing is given, with, as you say the incorrect
attribution (it says 2/4 Series 3, whereas it is clearly the first one
of all). In addition there is a photograph above the letterpress which
shows the principal characters from another series featuring a vaguely
aristocratic detective (The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, which were
actually shown the next night).
The Radio Times has gone to pot since the BBC sold it on.
