Notes

This episode was scheduled for broadcast on Friday 22nd December 1978, but a total strike at the BBC left both television channels blank on that date. The episode was eventually broadcast in insolation in August 1979, and is sometimes erroneously listed as a special, but is broadcast in its rightful place as episode 4 of Series 2 during repeats.
