Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Lesley Wilson
While Mrs. Freeman was cleaning the windows of her flat, a window fell, trapping her hands. No one else was at home but Dr. Claughton and Isabel Fielding, hearing Mrs. Freeman's cries, broke in through the french windows and took her to hospital. After the weekend, the Dales discovered that a thief had entered through the broken window and stolen Mrs. Dale's handbag. Dotty and Sam Odgers decided to have their wedding on New Year's Day. Jenny's first night was a great success.
