Starring Wendy Craig as Jennifer Corner, Ronald Hines as Henry Corner
with Charlotte Mitchell as Mary

The three young Corners have been misbehaving again and Jennifer says that she is going to complain to their father. Henry, however, is a little reluctant to come down too heavily on the children as his birthday is imminent and last year at this time a bout of discipline had resulted in a very 'token' present indeed.

'I used to think,' says Thornton, 'that once you got to be a real big shot, a director of the company, your problems would be over. Believe me-they're not.'
An important contract can be won in Ceylon. But Mogul's manager there, Henry Burton, does not seem to be trying. Thornton is on his own. He must not only find out why but also take the decisions needed to put things right. Including, if necessary, sacking Burton. His investigations give him an insight into the ways of the country and plenty of surprises-including a powerful astrologer.
Location filming for this episode was shot in Ceylon, where the unit had to dodge a late monsoon. Other local hazards included elephants wandering across the road -not the easiest of animals for a fast car to miss! And the famed dancers of Kandy performed for the cameras at 7.0 a.m., surely the earliest show they have ever given.
This story brings to Mogul, for the first time, guest star Maurice Denham-whose credits in every medium are too many to list here. But for Zienia Merton, who plays the beautiful Liane, even the world of Mogul must seem tame after her last assignment-seducing Gregory Peck in the forthcoming 20th Century-Fox film The Chairman.

What do we make - what will they buy?
Spotlight on the export drive: new ideas - new products - new markets

America had its first glimpse of a Rolls Royce car in 1906 when The Hon. Charles Rolls won a five mile race at New York's Empire City Track. From then on the car became almost a legend, not only in the United States but throughout the world. A quarter of all Rolls Royce cars made today are exported to America. But just how 'easy' is it selling an extremely expensive car in a relatively opulent market?
