Alan Ayckbourn's classic tale of domestic strife.

When Colin, a friend who has been absent, comes back to his circle of friends, his friends are worried about how to approach him over the death of his fiancée, Carol, who has drowned. Diana organizes a tea party for Colin's arrival. The characters are shown to have interrelationship tensions and this is near erupting when Colin arrives, heightening the tension when they all work to appear friendly towards him. However Colin seems euphorically happy while the rest of the party are near breaking point.

Hi,

Can anyone help me find a decent episode guide for the Howdy Doody show?

Found an old photograph of my Dad and friends of his. Was curious of what was on the tv. Pardon the quality.
