The Stick Of The Rocket

Dr. Finlay's Casebook: Season 7 - 26 Episode s
7x1 - The Visitation
March 9, 1969
Miss Seymour is the headmistress of a boarding school for the daughters of gentlemen. She has strong ideas about discipline and ladylike behaviour and her teaching methods are Victorian to say the least.

Dr. Finlay is sent for, and though he is greatly liked by the girls Miss Seymour has doubts about his influence on them.
7x2 - The Honours List

Mistress Niven, the local gossip and an unqualified nurse, is about to run into serious trouble with Dr. Finlay for endangering the life of a child by treating him unofficially and diagnosing incorrectly.

7x5 - The Greatest Of These Is Charity
April 6, 1969
When the Reverend John Scott becomes the target for abuse and calls for his dismissal by the townsfolk, old friend Dr. Cameron takes a personal interest.

7x6 - A Man Of Parts
April 13, 1969
In 1931, as today, outbreaks of violence were a disturbing social problem. Finlay sees it as a direct result of inadequate and poor housing, and when it is decided to preserve a Roman fort newly discovered on a site earmarked for council houses he is angry, to say the least.

May 18, 1969
Dr. Finlay is a candidate in the forthcoming by-election. With only a few weeks to go his canvass returns show he is making little impact on the electorate.

7x12 - The Stick Of The Rocket
May 25, 1969
After his defeat in the by-election Dr. Finlay is not his usual self. It may be that he is just run down, but when he insults a wealthy hypochondriac and is rude to Dr. Snoddie, Dr. Cameron begins to realise there is more to it than that.

When Tannochbrae's undertaker James Gibson finds convincing evidence that he himself is shortly to join the clients who have gone before his attitude towards the subject of death undergoes a radical change.
7x18 - The Call
July 6, 1969
Dr. Finlay, like most medical men, has no time for faith healers. But when one of them, Andrew Telfer, arrives in Tannochbrae and cures one of his patients Finlay begins to have second thoughts - especially when the cure is confirmed by a specialist.
7x19 - Lack Of Communication
July 13, 1969
Silence reigns supreme in Arden House. Neither doctor is talking to the other and it is left to Janet to try and bring them together. Not an easy task when she has no idea what caused the silence between them in the first place, though Mistress Niven has.
