Script by Jonquil Antony

Everyone was pleased with the design for 'Sarah's' Christmas card. Doctor and Mrs. Dale arranged to take their 'Constable' picture to the National Gallery in the car to discover if it was authentic. Sally went to Scotland to see Grandfather Dale and bring back woollies for ohe shop. Billy was taken seriously ill the day before his birthday and Dr. Gardiner told Gwen the nature of the suspected disease and arranged for Billy to be taken to hospital. David was annoyed with Gardiner for telling Gwen before the hospital confirmed the diagnosis. Billy's temperature dropped and he showed signs of improvement.

A tale of the future
Music composed and conducted by Van Phillips
Written and produced by Charles Chiliton

After being stranded on the Moon for thirteen days, Jet Morgan and his crew were about to take off for earth when they saw the image of what looked like another space ship in the televiewer screen. Jet and Mitch went outside to investigate the strange object, and Mitch even entered it. But no signs of any occupants were to be seen.
The earthbound ship then took off, first circling the Moon so that photographs could be taken of the other side.
