by John Lucarotti
[Starring] Geoffrey Keen, Ray Barrett, Philip Latham
Guest stars, Inia Te Wiata, Hilary Dwyer

Peter Thornton returns to the fold - straight into the thick of a row between the New Zealand government and Mogul over the shifting of a drilling rig from that country to Indonesia. Why should Thornton want to return to do Stead's dirty work? Because he wants to win a seat on the Mogul Board. Also, the man who is leading a mutiny on the rig is an old mate, Ed Ahu Riri. Ultimately, the friendship proves to be a hindrance rather than a help and Thornton's loyalties are stretched to breaking point.

Maori opera star Inia Te Wiata makes a rare - and very welcome - television appearance as Ed Ahu Riri, and Hilary Dwyer again appears as Thornton's girlfriend, Rolli Johnson. The part of Haldane gives a British debut for Athol Coats, one of New Zealand's leading actors.

This is the 100th Troubleshooters story. Of these, no less than twenty-one have been by writer John Lucarotti, author of tonight's story.

Unique scientific observations are made on the rare occasions when Venus 'transits' - or crosses - the sun. Tonight's programme marks the bicentenary of Captain Cook's voyage to the South Pacific to observe a transit - on June 3, 1769 - during which he claimed Australia for Britain on his way home.

Patrick Moore talks to Cdr. Derek Howse, R.N. about Cook's voyage and to Dr. Vinicio Barocas about the first astronomer ever to observe a transit, in 1639 - a twenty-year-old Lancashire curate, the Rev. Jeremiah Horrocks
