Seasons 3 and 4 of the perennially popular British sitcom set in a holiday camp in the late 50s/early 60s. In 'Nice People with Nice Manners', Yvonne and Barry hold a party in their chalet for the staff they consider to be 'socially acceptable'. But when Peggy mixes up the invitations, they get a few unexpected guests. In 'Carnival Time', Joe enlists Ted's help in organising a float for the town carnival. 'A Matter of Conscience' sees the staff at Maplin's attempting to thwart the local council's plans to build a new hospital right next to the camp by making as much noise as they can. In 'The Pay-Off', the council is still determined to go ahead with its plans to build the hospital, so Joe resorts to bribing the local councillors. In 'Trouble and Strife', Ted's ex-wife is demanding that he pay up his maintenance arrears. Ted has to act quickly - and cunningly - to raise the cash in time. 'Stripes' sees Joe promoting Gladys to Head Yellowcoat after a secret visit to the camp. In 'Co-Respondent's Course', Jeffrey's wife sends her new boyfriend to ask Jeffrey for a divorce. When Jeffrey is reluctant to give grounds, her boyfriend decides to try to unearth some evidence himself. 'It's a Blue World' sees Ted arranging a special late-night showing of an adult film for the male campers. In 'Eruptions', Ted retaliates after having his act rudely interrupted by a volcano in the ballroom. In 'The Society Entertainer', Spike is a changed man after falling head over heels for one of the female campers - much to the detriment of his act. Meanwhile, Jeffrey has decided that Radio Maplin would benefit from having a new voice on the airwaves. In 'Sing You Sinners', Jeffrey finds himself standing in for the local chaplain to conduct the Sunday Half Hour - with unnerving results. 'Maplin Intercontinental' sees the troupe competing for a very special prize in this year's Best Yellowcoat Competition: a transer to the new Maplin's Holiday Camp in the Bahamas. In 'All Change', Joe appoints a new supervisor for the Yellowcoats, but is less than delighted when he discovers that she insists on having a chalet all to herself at the peak of the season when the camp is filled to capacity.

The Unexpected Guest begins on a foggy night at a lonely country house, where a woman with a gun in her hand is quietly surveying the dead body of her husband. It looks like a straightforward case of murder. Or is it? As the ghosts of an old wrong begin to emerge from the past, the case begins to look anything but straightforward, and it is up to Sergeant Cadwallader and Inspector Thomas to discover the unexpected truth... In The Pale Horse, a dying woman gasps out her bizarre story to Catholic priest Father Gorman - but no sooner has he written it down than he is violently killed. The only clue he leaves is a twisted scrap of paper on which are written nine names. On the trail of these names Inspector Lejeune, together with academic Mark Easterbrooke and his crime writer friend Ariadne Oliver, are led inexorably to The Pale Horse Inn, in the village of Much Deeping. The three women who live there - a psychic, a medium and a witch - all seem to have some link to Father Gorman's death. And each of them has their own secrets... These two Agatha Christie stories, each with a twist in the tale, are dramatised with full casts including Sion Probert and Stephanie Cole. 2 CDs. 2 hrs.
