An early role for Stephanie Beacham. She plays a troubled young girl Shirley who is looking for digs.
Frank is in charge as Mrs Mortimer is away and he reluctantly gives her the room recently left vacant by Enright the former solicitor.
Frank finds that Shirley has attempted to kill herself. He revives her and makes her walk it off.
Shirley was until recently a private nurse to the wife of a local doctor. It seems she might have got too close with the wife.
Frank's probation officer tells him that Frank likes to solve other people's problems so he can forget about his own. It seems to be the case here. Frank didn't even call the ambulance. It might be because attempting suicide was illegal until the early 1960s.
This was a small character piece with the doctor being so mean hearted. It was also very flabby, the drama seemed to be at one point Frank constantly slapping poor Shirley. It actually reminded me of a scene from the Airplane films. I am just not sure we needed to see Frank trying to revive Shirley and then walk it off late at night which seemed to be half the episode.
