The Story

Jerry Purdue is on trial for the murder of his best friend Peter Calendar.  The two of them were in Vietnam together and Jerry refuses to give his lawyer any help with his defence because he knows something that he doesn't want to tell, something that Peter's parents should not have to hear.  Finally, he relents and tells the story, but only after his lawyer promises not to use the story in court.

Dramatic Scenes

Long, tense scene where Jerry finally tells what happened in Vietnam.  One of Pete's best scenes ever - if not the best.  He displays a great depth of emotion and with great control too.

Other Notable Scenes/Things to Watch For

Pete also sings twice in this episode.  Firstly he sings along with Burl Ives and then later sings alone and plays the guitar.  The stripey trousers may also be worth a mention!  At the beginning of the episode, he appears with long hair and a beard.

Is it worth getting? 
(my opinion only!)

This is a "must see". It is regarded by many fans as one of Pete's best - if not the best.
