Starring: Valerie Hobson and Philip Friend

A married couple decide on divorce but then struggle with the effect it has on their children

This drama was based on a stage play by Warren Chetham-Strode and features a shot of a train departing from London Victoria station. The locomotive is not seen, but in a curious continuity error the preceding shots mostly featured London Waterloo and a train is in Platform 12 with an ex-SR ‘King Arthur’ N15 Class 4-6-0 at the bufferstops.
