Courting disaster by
Margaret Wood
The course of true love never did run too smoothly, and it
certainly isn't doing so for Meg, housekeeper to the tyrannical Trevor Lloyd.
Meg is sweet on Trevor’s younger brother Hughie, who feel the same about her
but lacks the confidence and imagination to make the first move. Trevor, too,
has love problems, although in his case it is land which brings the light of
love into his eyes. When Trevor decides to gain more land by marrying either of
two eligible (i.e. land-owning) ladies, Meg decides it is time to act, and
brings all her mis-matchmaking (for Trevor) and matchmaking (for Hughie) skills
into play, with lively results
Cast:
Meg (Teresa Mellor); Sandra (Karen Howell); Trevor (Paul
Garrett); Hughie (Kevin Gunning); P. C. Bowen (Adrian Young); Phoebe Hunter (Karen
Evans); Alice Chapman (Carol Hughes)
Producer: Barry Mercer
