"Hair of the Dog" 19 January 1980
Tristan and Siegfried meet a tramp named Roddy Travers and his dog who are passing through the area. Mrs Hall has gone to Brawton to visit her sister, Dorothy, whose husband is sick and has been told he cannot return to work. Tristan reluctantly agrees to take over the household chores and duties in her absence. Siegfried is less than sympathetic when his brother starts to complain. Granville Bennett stops in, hoping for someone to take a look at his dog, Phoebe, who needs a minor operation. He invites James and Siegfried to lunch the next day. The former over-imbibes yet again.
Characters: Mrs Hall, Roddy Travers, Granville Bennett, Zoe Bennett, Mr Willis.
