BAT BITS #43 NOW LIVE on Patreon: "The Minstrel's Shakedown" script pt 1: A Creative Spark

This time we begin a look at the first draft script for "The Minstrel's Shakedown" from season 2. We discovered a hidden cameo in this episode — no, not Phyllis Diller, but we also see how her scene was originally written when it wasn't a celebrity cameo. Also, we discover who was second choice to play the Minstrel if Van Johnson hadn't taken the role, the filler scenes that aren't in the script, and more.
