'The cuckold is a young university lecturer whose academic career is headed for brilliant success as surely as his marital relationship with a lovely, sexual wife is headed for disaster. What makes for comedy is first the husband's inversion of his academic and marital duties and finally their equation in a sophisticated battle of the sexes.'

Little is now known about this instalment in Australian Plays, although Lenore Nicklin noted in the Sydney Morning Herald ('The Fantastic Life Comes Over', 1 January 1970, p.4) that 'Ready When You Are, C.B., and Tilley Landed On Our Shores would have joint claims for the worst program of the year.'
