Notes[]
- TV Times synopsis: Tracy has a favour to ask of Deirdre - how will she react? Why is Denise nervous about entering her own flat?
- Viewing Figures: UK broadcast - 16,030,000 viewers (7th place - combined figure including repeat).
- The Granada Plus repeat of this episode on 15th September 2004 was edited for timing reasons, omitting an entire Rovers' scene of 2'20" in Part Two, where Bet Gilroy tries to drum up interest in the poetry contest, Rita Sullivan recites another limerick, and Denise Osbourne informs Ken Barlow that Tracy has returned home. The ITV3 repeat on 23rd October 2019 reinstated the cut scene.
Notable dialogue[]
Raquel Wolstenhulme (about atomic bombs): "I mean why do men have to invent things like that anyway? Bet it weren't a woman ya know - who invented all them 'orrible cruising missiles and exercise missiles neither."
---
Rita Sullivan: "There once was a girl called Raquel. They called her the barmaid from hell!"
