Robert Robinson recalls the events of July 1951 - a memorable month for British sport.
Randolph Turpin became World Middleweight Champion, Doris Hart won at Wimbledon, and Roger Bannister ran a mile in 4 minutes 7.8 seconds. The Queen laid the Foundation Stone of the National Theatre, and residents of Chelsea celebrated the Festival of Britain by selling, appropriately, Chelsea buns in the King's Road.

Judy Pascal - adopted daughter of the Pascals - is about to get married. Her socially ambitious parents plan a huge wedding to which most of the top people of Furness are invited. But one uninvited guest threatens to turn up as well - Ted Yarrow, Judy's real father! Yarrow enlists Sarah's sympathy and help in tracking down his daughter, telling her that he has just returned from Australia. She even puts him up at her house. But is he telling her the truth? Could it be that he has just left Dartmoor Prison... after serving a sentence for murder?
