  • Peter and Barbara Wyckham plan to travel by railway from London to a country house in Somerset, but Peter (Richard Briers) misses the train. Another intending traveller in a similar plight is Marguerite Hickett, an old friend of Peter's from the days before their marriages. They decide to hire a motor car and drive to Somerset, but the car breaks down and they seek refuge at the local inn. Only one bedroom is available, and as it is very clear that the landlady, Mrs Spoker, will not admit an unmarried couple, Peter and Marguerite check in as husband and wife. Barbara jumps to the conclusion that Peter and Marguerite have run away together.
    Also stars Arthur Lowe and Frank Thornton.
    Broadcast 26th September 1970

    This was filmed when I was just three months old, with Captain George Mainwaring, Tom Good and Captain Stephen Peacock - Walmington on Sea meets Grace Brothers and suburban Surbiton!

    It's strange seeing Lowe as someone different to the pompous Capt Mainwaring. A great comedic actor.

      I hated Mainwaring the character for the way he mistreated Wilson all of the time. It just goes to show how good Lowe was to evince that feeling within me. A truly brilliant actor.

    Is the script a lesser work by Noel Coward, or is it inspired by Noel Coward? Veeerrry drawing room comedy! I wonder...did the landlady, many years later, play the aunt of Edmund Blackadder? Their strick moralistic attitude is the same.

      They were old friends who happened to meet on the platform, and became engrossed in conversation.
