      And a little later:-
      The Troubleshooters (original series called Mogul) - a drama about an oil company that was fairly obviously BP - with Geoffrey Keen, Robert Hardy and Ray Barrett

      and

      The Power Game (original series called The Plane Makers) with Patrick Wymark, Alan Dobie, Jack Watling and Peter Barkworth

      Both of them were excellent modern dramas about modern industry.

            The holiday is based in Lucern. Included excursions are Interlaken, Grindelwald and a half day in Lucern itself. We paid extra and have a room with a balcony with a lake (Lucern) view. The hotel is right on the shore. I suspect a bottle or two :Wino: :)
