June accompanies the Waterfords to

Washington DC, where Fred puts his

grand plan of returning baby Nichole

to his mournful wife, Serena, in motion.

The carefully planned PR strategy involves

are this series’ most iconic and disturbing

yet, which is saying something. But while

Fred attempts to climb the career ladder

by meeting High Commander George

Winslow (played by guest starChristopher

risky plan. Can she actually rely on her old

flame Nick? And can June persuade

Serena to come back from the dark side?

Only time will tell. HHHHHRM

Beecham House

● DRAMA / 9pm / ITV

Call us psychic but we had a funny feeling

that when Prince Akbar gave John that

priceless diamond to flog, there might be

a few repercussions for poor Mr Beecham

• and so it proves when a gleeful General
  Castillon arrests John for theft and
  treason. To add to John’s woes, he also has
  a brutal row with Daniel after finding out

that his brother has got Chanchal

pregnant. However, when John is left

languishing in prison, it’s Daniel who

actually steps up to the plate and embarks

on a mission to try to prove slimy Samuel’s

treachery and free John, with Margaret’s

help. But can they get the evidence they

desperately need? HHHHCC
