Ladies in Charge - 'Dangerous Prelude' by Paula Milne - Broadcast 13th May 1986

In between series 3 and 4 of 'Who Dares Wins' I played Babs Palmer in this period drama for Thames TV. Set just after the First World War and featuring Carol Royle and Julia Swift, it centred around three rather well to do women who had met as ambulance drivers in the Great War and after the conflict decided to set up a 'universal aunts' agency to help those less fortunate than themselves.
In this episode written by Paula Milne the ladies take an interest in the affairs of Edward Cane, a successful novelist visiting London with his sister in order to employ a housekeeper. There are certain stipulations, however she must be young, unmarried and of high moral standard. Vicky (Julia Swift) soon discovers why.
Featuring David Rintoul, Suzanne Bertish, Michael Gough, Patrick Newell and Philip Middlemiss #perioddrama #ladiesincharge #tvdrama #thamestv #itv
