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)
