The Bill
Louise Gold appeared a Ginny Sharman, in ‘Alone’,
first broadcast on ITV at 8pm on either Friday 17 February 1995 or Friday 17
March 1995 (The date originally given in the Radio Times was Friday 17 February
1995, however it was also listed in exactly the same way in The Radio Times for
17 March 1995, and on the latter it was not given as being a repeat, and that
date is often given in internet listings as the original airdate, so it seems
likely that the 17 February date was cancelled for reasons unknown)
