Talk:Episode 1587 (31st March 1976)

This is a significant episode in a few ways. The next episode was the first to be screened by Granada Plus,so this is the last one not generally available for fans who could have recorded any subsequent episode.

It's also significant as this week's episodes are produced by Susi Hush- presumably Bill Podmore was on holiday and Susi was "acting" producer rather than series producer. During this period there are occasional weeks where there is a different producer for a week or two. After 1977 the regular producer is always billed.

It's also unusual that only six regular character appear in this week's episodes. Usually this would only happen where there is a split cast/double banking system of production for that week(I've elaborated on this theme on the Talk Page for Episode 1564),but this not seem to be the case here.

I actually recall watching this and the previous episode on their original ITV screening and recall them as quite"talky" episodes-most scenes were obviously two handers.
