Notes
- Former Coronation Street writer Ray H. Dunbobbin appears in the uncredited and non-speaking role of Willie Piggott's henchman Ted. He reappeared in the programme in Episode 992 (27th July 1970) as another Piggot henchman, Charlie Clarke. The two characters were dressed identically and may have been intended to be one and the same.
- TV Times synopsis: Miss Nugent confesses, but Hilda has second thoughts.
- Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast - 7,950,000 homes (4th place).
Notable dialogue
Ena Sharples: "It’s folk with your attitude that start world wars."
Minnie Caldwell: "And its folks with yours that provoke them!"
