The credits broadcast by Channel 5 were for episode (57), so I have used above the credits from Central's second showing of this episode in February 1994. This | The women decide to hold a farewell party for Karen to cheer her up, but Monica throws cold water on their optimism, saying she once had to wait months for a decision on her parole. Jean arranges an interview for Leanne as a cashier in the supermarket down the road. Lizzie reminds Karen about the halfway house project as a way of getting her to look to the future. As Vera wakes up Monica, the camera dwells for a second on her bedside reading matter ![]() ![]() ![]() Monica's romantic novel ("Moon of desire" by Betty Manvers) looks like it was a collector's item of someone on the props team. It isn't an Australian book, and the original edition was published over 40 years before the scene was shot. For library catalogue records of the book, search at (for example) www.copac.ac.uk for the title. Thanks to Derek and Vicki in the yahoo club chatroom for being amused enough by the screen shot to make me try to find where it came from.
