by PATRICK SCANLAN
(Repeated: Wed, 11.15 am)
Two guest stars are coming to Waggoners' Walk soon. From 1 October, Patrick Allen will be appearing in the programme in a story of unsavoury dealings in the world of big business, a story that involves Lynn Dixon (Judy Franklin ), complicating both her working and her romantic life. For both there is a surprising outcome.
Someone who is going to be working extremely hard shortly is Hattie Jacques , who comes in to the series from 17 October to play the dual roles of two sisters - Harriet and Tilly Gibbon - one strong and dependable, the other weak and less self-reliant.
