1. Master of My Fete (Vince Moran)
'Just as everyone is preoccupied with preparations for the local fete, Mrs. Peacock's latest man, Frederic Stocks arrives at Brindabella to announce their plans to marry. Stocks oozing charm is not enough to convince everyone of the sincerity of his feelings towards Mrs. Peacock and more than one member of the household recognises him for what he is ... a con-man. There is no doubt that the man is trouble and will have to go!'
2. Madame Rosamonda (Vince Moran)
'Psychic Medium, Madame Rosamunda, summons up more than a few ghosts when she holds seances at Brindabella. Is it really possible that she can call up Miss Scarlet's father from the dead? Exposing her as a fraud is not necessarily in everyone's best interests as she certainly seems to hold power over a number of people.'
3. A Nest of Vipers (Vince Moran)
'When journalist Janet Tipple visits Brindabella to write a newspaper article about Professor Plum and his research into snakes she seems to find more than just his reptiles of interest. She finds that other members of the Brindabella household have interesting stories to write about as well. It appears that more than one person has met Janet before.'
4. Greater Love Hath No Man (Or Woman) (Elizabeth Coleman)
'Isabella Goodley turns to Reverend Green for help when her father beats her and Mrs. Peacock happily provides a haven for her at Brindabella. But it seems that Isabella and her father are already known to most of the household and her presence has a strange effect on all concerned. Miss Scarlet finds it hard to believe that someone could really be that sickly-sweet and Colonel Mustard behaves distinctly oddly towards her.'
5. The Palms of an Architect (Tony Cavanaugh)
'Professor Plum and his brother Roger were once partners in a building firm but now they don't see eye to eye. Roger casts doubts on the Professor's architectural skills which causes Mrs Peacock to worry about the quality of the building works that Plum is carrying out at Brindabella. The brothers look very much alike. Is it possible that Miss Scarlet could be attracted to the wrong brother?
6. Goodwill to All Men ... and Women (Vince Moran)
'Wheel-chair bound Aunt Evelina invites herself to Brindabella for Christmas. Not that she is in a festive mood. She has brought with her a will in which Brindabella is left to her and not to Mrs. Peacock as previously thought. But is this new will genuine and what skeletons does Evelina set free from the cupboard by her arrival? Her bitterness about not inheriting Brindabella certainly makes her unlikeable but would anyone want to kill her?'
