For the first contract, I would think it should go 2NT - 4C (Gerber) - 4D (0/4 Aces) - 5C (asking for Kings) - 5H (1 K) - 6NT (sign off because missing one K). Responder could also transfer and bid 4NT on his next bid, which would put the contract at either 6H or 6NT.
If this was before the advent of Jacoby Transfers, it could simply go 2NT-3H (to discover if opener has at least 3 card support)-4H-6H or 4NT (Blackwood) if you choose to investigate. If opener rebids 3NT (implying a doubleton heart) then just go directly to 6NT. If this was matchpoint scoring, 2NT-6NT would probably be best!
Goren's analysis of the 2D contract is wrong. While the contract could have been beaten with a spade switch at trick 2, it was cold (double dummy, at least) at the point Goren says it could be beaten.
They’re cold on a non-spade switch because declarer can just “drop” West’s K doubleton. But I think it’s more interesting to consider that declarer could have managed hearts better, after the hA was taken, to get a heart entry to dummy and take the deep finesse themself.
Just a little fact for those unfamiliar The contract is an agreement of how many trumps your team will make above six trumps if they fail they lose points

@@tuxtommy69 Also 3H after the denial of a 4-card major is an easy bid. The 3NT stopping bid is tragic!
What is the date of this show, please, do you know?
Don't know the exact date, but I would say the year is 1959.

Tricks not trumps
