Puppet on a String

With Craddock away, Ventress relishes in his role as acting sergeant, leaving Bellamy and Mike longing for the return of narrow-minded Craddock. Ventress smells a rat when Tom Lowson, the biggest black marketer in the North Riding area during World War 11, returns to Aidensfield, whilst Maggie clashes with Tom's rebellious daughter over a shocking case of bullying - and illegal abortions. Meanwhile, Greengrass makes a promise to a dying friend, who wants to sell her valuable Georgian clock to afford a holiday at the hotel where she and her late husband spent their honeymoon. Unfortunately, Greengrass discovers her valuables are not of much value and must now come up with a plan to make a dying women's wish come true.
