starring David Tomlinson, Petula Clark, Sonja Ziemann, A. E. Matthews

Basil and Julie are a young married couple. Because of the housing problem they have to live with Basil's parents at their home in Dunmow, Essex. Complications arise when the family decide to solve their domestic problems by engaging the services of a Hungarian maid. Marta turns out to be rather more than they bargained for. Whether it is deliberate or not is uncertain, but she soon captivates every male within miles, and Julie is decidedly worried about Marta's effect on her husband...

A film by Peter Batty to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the taking of the Monastery at Monte Cassino by the Allies on May 18, 1944
Mud, rain and cold... smelling corpses unburied for months... the hypnotic attraction of the monastery to the men fighting at its feet... not one battle but four... the controversial bombing of the monastery... the stubbornness of the German defence... major splits between the U.S. and Britain over the conduct of the campaign.
It was the most gruelling, the most harrowing of all the battles waged on the Continent of Europe in the Second World War. It was also the most international, for the soldiers of fifteen nations fought and died at Cassino.
Those taking part include: Field-Marshal Lord Harding, General Anders, General Achim Oster, Dom Agostino, D. M. Davin
See page 35

Historic archive material concerning the four battles has been collected from both sides for this documentary. Much of it-such as the formation of the Polish Corps, their trek from Russian captivity to join the Eighth Army in the Middle East following the agreement between Sikorsky and Stalin-has never been seen before on British television. Interspersed with this is special filming of the rebuilt monastery and the town of Cassino today.

A thriller serial in six parts by Bill Craig
Starring William Lucas as Eddie Prior, Claire Nielson as Liz Elliot, Aubrey Morris as Spinner, Peter Copley as Cadwaller, Callum Mill as Sgt. Forbes
From Scotland

A bullet in the tyre causes Eddie's car to crash and he recovers consciousness in the guardroom of a Naval base where a suspicious C.O. questions him. Released, he is surprised when Forbes says that Shaw was killed in the crash. Eddie insists that he was alone in the car, and when Dewar denies that there's a bullet in the tyre, Eddie suspects him of being the marksman.
Liz tells Eddie she's had a phone call from Helen - her sister isn't dead. Eddie goes off to rendezvous with her in Glasgow. Forbes tells Liz that Shaw was murdered and Eddie is number-one suspect.
