T.C. Thomas’s ‘situation comedy’ – They Simply Fade Away’, is set in the interior of the Signal Box at Penrhlw, a lonely railway station on the Beacons – where, according to the script notes, the characters are ‘all too matter-of-fact to be over sentimental about the loss of their railway’.
It would also seem from these notes that the ‘situation’ and the characters ‘have become well known through television’ – so perhaps part of a comedy series that was run some time before the 1964 ‘copyright date’ shown in the script
