Part 3 of 7 of the period drama. The newspapers are full of reports of Edith Watson's body found near a stolen car, with Percy in a panic over the night's events. However, upon reading that police are looking for two men seen with the girl the night she died, he decides to try his chances and seek out Doris Josser at her new flat. Doris is finding flat sharing with Doreen harder than she thought, but it is at one of Doreen's many parties that she meets medical student Bill Davenport. With Doris moved out, the Jossers take in a new lodger as Fred goes back to working at his old firm debt collecting against his wife's advice. But while Fred later falls dangerously ill with pleurisy, the lodger is not what he seems...
Starring Derek Farr, Terence Budd, Betty Alberge, Madge Ryan, Fiona Gray, Patricia Hayes, Julia McCarthey, Jane Carr, Trevor Eve, John Sharp, Peter Jeffrey, Colin Jeavons, Tony Aitken, William Morgan Sheppard, Bruce Purchase, Gordon Christie, Dawn Perllman, Albert Welling, Ken Wynne, Gordon Quarmby, Steven Barnes and Tina Martin. This series is a rare one, having rarely been repeated since it's broadcast in 1977, but is notable in this episode for the appearance of a young Trevor Eve before he found fame in Shoestring in 1979. Even back then he gives an assured performance and is a likeable character in a period series where not all of them are. One such character is sweating it out after his actions of the night before, but has he got away with it or is fate going to intervene in the most unexpected way?
