Jenny decides whether or not to have the operation. Linda and Nargis start on gynae. Dick Wil loughby hears about the possibility of a job from an unexpected source....
Six films in which Chris Serle and Paul Heiney take it in turns to plunge in at the deep end and learn the hard way about a completely new world.
Tonight Chris Serle becomes a butler for a weekend house party at Lord Hertford's 110-room stately home in Warwickshire and learns that there's more to being a 'gentleman's gentleman' than he'd ever imagined.
On the way to his big weekend Chris explores the fascinating world of Upstairs Downstairs in some of the country's great houses, goes through butler training school, serves lunch to Clement Freud, MP, meets Margaret Powell and is groomed by the creator of Mr Hudson, TV's best-known butler, Gordon Jackson.

The Tuesday Documentary
Mark Tully was born in Calcutta during the last days of the British Raj. When he was nine years old the family returned to England. Since 1972 he has been the BBC's correspondent in India.
As the Festival of India draws to a close, MARK TULLY looks at the country with the knowledge. experience and affection gained over many years. He is optimistic about India's future and puzzled that the image of India which prevails in the West is'one of poverty, corruption and over-population. For many the film will be full of surprises - India is the world's tenth largest industrial power, has the fourth largest army and is virtually self-sufficient in food and manufactured goods.
Most of the Indians with whom Mark Tully speaks are openly critical about many aspects of their society, but share his fundamental optimism. It is above all the fact that Indians can criticise their country and their government without fear which gives Tully hope for the world's largest democracy.
