I watched this episode with my wife, who thought it was a load of codswallop. She was astounded that it took them 50 minutes to tell the story.
Janice Coop is an eleven year old girl caught stealing lingerie from a launderette. She tells a story of a spaceman in the park. Her best friend is Walter who is a lodger in the house.
Janice's dad is a working class man, mum is housebound and disabled. Then there is young Auntie Vera.
It turns out that dad is weak willed, his marriage has fell apart years ago and he has been carrying on with Vera. He has been forced to arrange a wedding to Vera by both her and his wife. In this strange tumultuous relationship the adults have forgotten about young Janice.
As for the stolen lingerie, Inspector Jean Darblay thinks that it was for Walter who she suspects is a cross dresser.
Just a dreary episode, badly acted in parts. Paul Copley who plays the dad just repeats the last line someone just said.
