A Rose by Any Other Name
Sandy and William find a baby abandoned in the doorway of the Old Beeches. They solve the mystery and reunite a family. Starring Stanley Baxter and the late Richard Briers.
In tribute to Richard Briers who co-starred in this series for six years.
Sandy and William find a cardboard box in the doorway to the Old Beeches; inside, a tiny baby, clutching a small toy. There is no message and no sign of the mother. From the moment Sandy carries the box into the breakfast room, the discovery causes a sensation in the closet world of the home. Everyone is enchanted by the child - a little girl - and horrified at the implications of her being abandoned.
