My late mother was a (presumably uncredited) dancer in an episode of 'Dr Finlay's Casebook', very probably doing Scottish Country Dancing, and I'm wondering if anyone might be familiar enough with the series to suggest which episode it might have been? I see there are 65 episodes extant out of 191.
I also have a couple of photos of her on a film or TV set in a Regency-era production of the 50s or 60s; might anyone be able to suggest a means to identify them? I can't see a way to add photos here.
Many thanks for any help. Incidentally, I was pleased to find I have an off-air recording of a missing Swap Shop segment: Dame Edna Everage in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1982; I'm returning it to the BBC. I don't know if anyone else remembers the sketch.

With this button:  There were quite a few Bröntes/Austen adaptations in the 1950s, not to mention other authors. Some exist, some are lost. So it could take a while. Then again there are people here, and on a few other sites, who were there. Keep asking and eventually someone will recognize it. |

Worth a look? You might spot her. The episode is on YouTube. Also, have you checked the iMDb.com database? |

Many thanks for the lead to that episode; sadly there's no sign of my mother there.
