THE MISSING EPISODE
IMDB has series 2 containing 9 episodes ...

Specifically =>

Season 2, Episode 8: Christmas Trees
Original Air Date: 27 December 1982

which I would have said WAS the Christmas show (aired the day after Boxing Day) BUT this appears NOT to be in the Sun's Series 2 - the Christmas show being IMDB's episode 9 (The CHANDELIER one) "Diamonds Are For Heather" which apparently was screened 3 days later on 30 December 1982.

I might just send them an email ...... ?

OK sorted this out.

CHRISTMAS TREES was shown on 28.12.82

If has a duration of ONLY 8 minutes.

It is an extract from something called "THE FUNNY SIDE OF CHRISTMAS"

Note: This special is not available commercially !!

So there will only be 8 episodes with 2.8 being "Diamonds Are For Heather"

We've been away for 2 weeks and missed the Neil Diamond "Jazz Singer" DVD with The Mail. Was there a phone number in the paper to ring if the DVD was 'missing'???

PLENTY is an exploration of post World War II European society and its discontents, as symbolized by the shifting emotional and political alliances of one English woman. For Susan Traherne (Meryl Streep), nothing can match the heroism and excitement of her wartime involvement with the French Resistance; nor can any man match the young soldier with whom she had an affair. Back in England, her youthful optimism slowly fades as she experiments with a variety of political movements and a variety of men. Tracey Ullman costars as Susan's constant companion, who lives life as a bohemian free spirit, uninhibited, but unable to stop Susan's decline into depression and unabashed alienation. Ultimately, Susan settles into a marriage with an upper class diplomat that leads to disillusionment and, finally, madness. Meryl Streep gives an astonishing performance as the fiercely independent and emotionally overwrought woman, with command performances from a remarkable ensemble cast including: John Geilgud, Tracey Ullman, Sam Neill, and Sting. The film is based on the critically acclaimed play by David Hare
( synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes)
And on Sunday Cyrano de Bergerac- Depardieu; directed Rappeneau

famed 17th century writer courageously makes enemies of France's polite society by exposing their hypocrisies in political pamphlets. But his bravery in politics does not extend to romance. Cyrano de Bergerac, pining away for love of his cousin Roxanne, refuses to reveal his affections for fear that she will find his grotesque form unappealing. Instead, Cyrano teaches the beautiful but stupid Christian how to woo Roxanne. Though she initially finds Christian attractive, it is his beautiful poetry and gorgeously written letters -- all penned by Cyrano -- that win her heart. Christian dies in battle before he ever has the chance to tell Roxanne the truth, and Cyrano keeps the secret until his own death.
