The Kaleidoscope guide says The Little White God (17/7/1964) from series 1 and The Unbearable Bassington (8/4/1965), The Make-Believe Man (15/4/1965) and The Old Boys (29/4/1965) from series 2, but that info may have been superseded later (the book's from 2011).

FWIW (not much), here's the ep guide I did in 1994 in my fanzine article about it. Ep order from having taped series 1 and 2. I rewatched too many times while harvesting quotations, so taped over it. I didn't give tx dates. Those last two sentences prove I was abducted by aliens in the early 90s.
