by Ray Cooney and John Chapman
Starring Moira Lister as Felicity Willow, Terence Alexander as Paul Willow and Doris Hare as Nanny

Amateur theatricals, like souffles, are prone to disaster. When Mrs Willow tries to produce a pantomime with an ancient vicar, a deaf pianist, Nanny and Mr Willow in the company, most things that shouldn't happen do.
With Judith Furse as Mrs Cadwallader, Denise Coffey as Mary Flynn, Richard Goolden as the Vicar, Harold Bennett as Mr Smith

(Terence Alexander is in 'Move Over, Mrs Markham' at the Vaudeville Theatre, London)

A recent report suggested that inflation in Britain might get worse before it got better. If a recent poll is to be believed, four people out of ten don't know what the word means; yet it remains the most intractable problem facing the Government on the domestic front. What can and should be done about it?
