S01E04 A Bridge too Far 14 November 1979 At work, Terry agrees to play on behalf of the company at a bridge championship, in the hope of impressing the Chairman of the Board Sir Dennis Hodge (Reginald Marsh). Terry has never played bridge before but believes he can learn in the week that remains until the game. However, Sir Dennis telephones that same evening, and suggests they have a practice match so that they can judge each other's playing ability. Terry cannot get out of it, and Sir Dennis soon arrives with Major Pritchard (Anthony Howard) and Admiral Boyd (Noel Coleman) to play. Terry then tries to delay the match while June goes out to a phone box to ring home pretending there is an emergency so Terry can leave. However, before this can happen Terry bangs his head on the card table, and pretends the bang has given him amnesia and made him forget how to play bridge. (Heather Bell also appears in this episode.)
