by Alan Plater
There are two young constables in each car, ready to deal with trouble as it happens.

It can't possibly be blackmail - the old lady seems much too innocent and can have nothing to hide; but Lynch and Graham are sure that something has happened, and Chief-Inspector Barlow decides to set a trap.

with Compton Mackenzie
This enchanting countryside of south-west France reminds me of my early youth in Dorset and Hampshire-no green belt or suburbia but the real country of once upon a time. This is one little bit of Europe that is left without tourists.
A film showing the surroundings in which Sir Compton Mackenzie has chosen to live and work during the summer months.
BBC film: first shown on December 6
