[Starring] Stratford Johns as Det. Chief Supt. Barlow, Peggy Sinclair as P/W Det.-Sgt. Allin, Gavin Campbell as Det.-Con. Digby

The five pairs of hands of the Nevin family provide them with an easy living, and an exhilarating - if dangerous - way of life. When this quintet of rogues makes an excursion into the Wyvern Region, their activities soon come to the notice of the Crime Squad. Allin and Digby interview some exasperating witnesses. Barlow squeezes a hint from an unusual informant. And Barlow's intervention at the moment of the Nevins' celebrating their success leads to a dramatic climax.

Geoffrey Gorer, social anthropologist; Mrs. Ann Goossens, hotel receptionist; Mrs. Eileen Welch, housewife; Miss Daphne Padell, advertising executive and broadcaster; John Keeling, plastics technician

Mrs. Ritchie discusses the adjustments she has had to make to her life since her husband died six months ago. She feels as though she has suffered some sort of amputation by the loss; is very much diminished as a person, and is finding the loneliness very hard to cope with. She recounts her present needs, hopes, and apprehensions, and these are commented upon in the studio by others who have faced a similar situation.
