Script by Hazel Adair
(Continued in next column)
Mrs. Dale and Bob went to Gimlet Green to collect some Christmas decorations. Mrs. Dale fell from a step-ladder and ran the shears into her leg; she had to be taken home and put to bed. Earlier she and Mrs. Morgan had met Monument's future wife and Bessie told Mrs. Dale how upset she was about the marriage. Sally and Fulton were reconciled. He was delighted to hear she would be spending Christmas at home after all. Gwen met Madge Curran and her small son who lived in the flat above her. Henry and Joyce arrived for Christmas.

The programme produced by Michael North
The second part of 'The Jack Hylton Story' continues to tell of the rise to his present managerial eminence of this most colourful figure in the entertainment world. His band-leading days behind him, he branches out into every form of theatrical activity: revues, musical comedies, symphony concerts, opera, ballet, Crazy Gang shows, pantomimes, and circuses. This programme tells of his presentation of such shows as ' Call Me Madam,' ' Paint Your Wagon,' ' Kiss Me, Kate,' and such notable revivals as ' The Lilac Domino' and ' Irene.' He has also been responsible for such adventurous productions of straight plays as No Room at the Inn,' ' Women of Twilight,' and ' The Moon is Blue.'
