Another HE Bates adaptation, source novella written in 1963, adapted by Richard Harris.
Pop stops old lady Phillada Sewell being ripped off by nephew Robert Lang (Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont). He also buys a fair, runs into some teddy boys. Day saved by new vicar Tyler Butterworth, who Primrose has fallen for. Meanwhile Charlie tries to freeze strawberries.
Loved the moment - think it's in this one - where Pop drops his hat over baby Oscar's head. (Ross Marriott never took up acting. No idea what he does now. Philip Franks appears on our screens still sporadically - he was in Phantom Thread - but has also been a stage performer and director.)
