Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Dr. Dale went to Berwick in an endeavour to settle the trouble between his father and .his brother-in-law, George Trotter. Unfortunately a valuable bull had died and Grandfather Dale blamed George. They quarrelled violently and Grandfather Dale ordered George off the farm. Mrs. Dale, who had begun her spring-cleaning, received a letter from the Doctor stating that he was bringing his father back with him. Bob received a letter from Mr. Cooper's solicitors requesting a return of the money he had been overcharged on the furniture in his flat.
The first rehearsal of the Parkwood Hill Coronation Pageant took place. Jenny arrived very late and obviously upset. Mr Fulton and the producer reprimanded her. She afterwards confided to Gwen that she had broken off her engagement to Peter.
