Notes[]
- A mistake in supplying the billing information to TV Times meant that this episode and the next were credited as having been directed by Stephen Hancock, who had just recently left the programme after a decade playing Ernest Bishop!
- TV Times synopsis: Day of ordeal for widow Emily Bishop as the men accused of killing her husband go on trial. Meanwhile, Deirdre and Ray Langton discover that the plate they bought - given away by Betty Turpin for jumble - is worth a great deal of money.
- Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast - 17,500,000 viewers (5th place).
