List of Terry and June episodes
This is a list of all the episodes for the British sitcom Terry and June, which originally aired on BBC1 from 24 October 1979 to 31 August 1987.[1]
Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long.[1] The first seven series had six episodes each, with the eighth series consisting of 12 episodes and the ninth (and final) series seven episodes.
The first series aired from 24 October to 28 November 1979 on Wednesdays at 8.30pm. The second series from 5 September to 10 October 1980 on Fridays at 8.20pm, followed by a Christmas special on 23 December 1980 at 7.15pm.[1] Series Three aired on Fridays at 7.30pm from 13 November to 18 December 1981, with a Christmas special on 28 December 1981 at 6.35pm, and the fourth series aired from 5 January to 9 February 1982 on Tuesdays at 8.00pm.
The fifth series aired from 19 October to 23 November 1982 on Tuesdays at 7.40pm.[1] The 1982 Christmas special aired on Christmas Eve at 8.40pm. Series Six aired from 15 February to 22 March 1983 on Tuesdays at 7.50pm, followed by Series Seven from 31 October to 12 December 1983 on Mondays at 6.50pm.
The eighth (and penultimate) series aired from 7 September to 23 November 1985 on Saturdays at 5.50pm. Series Eight's unusual episode count (twelve episodes, originally thirteen before an episode was dropped, and the 1985 Christmas Special which was filmed as part of the Series Eight filming block) owes to the fact that it was originally penned as a double-length series, that the BBC could choose to break over two separate series of broadcasts if they so opted to, as they had done with Series Three and Four; and the DVD releases also reflect this option by releasing Series Eight as two halves,[2][3] although ultimately Series Eight was broadcast as one long series. A run-down of upcoming episodes in several BBC in-house literature for the then-forthcoming 1984-85 production season makes mention of an ultimately 'missing' final episode of Series 8, "Computer Games"; Although a script for this episode exists, the episode doesn't appear to have entered production, seemingly due to the final recording slot instead given over to recording the 1985 Christmas Special.
Series Eight was followed by a Christmas special on 24 December 1985 at 9.00pm. The ninth (and final) series aired from 20 July to 31 August 1987 on Mondays at 8.30pm.[1] Several scripts for a proposed Series Ten were submitted, but the series was not renewed.[1]

| Terry has been promoted to Assistant Sales Manager at PlaySafe Ltd, 'the fire extinguisher people' and he and June are moving into their new house. On Friday evening they arrive at 26, Elm Tree Avenue, in Purley, Surrey, to decorate before they move in. The weekend gets off to a bad start when they arrive late at the house after traffic problems. The following day they start to decorate, and the wallpaper peels off. On Sunday, neighbours Brian (Roland Curram) and Tina Pillbeam (Anita Graham) arrive to introduce themselves, and tell Terry and June about the previous owners, all of whom were odd in different ways. They then discover a hidden door in the kitchen – but it leads only to a toilet. Part of the toilet then falls on Terry's head, and he ends up in hospital.

|
After twenty-three years in their old home, Terry and June prepare to move to their new house in Purley, but just before leaving, their daughter Wendy (Jessica Turner) turns up. She tells them that she has left her husband Roger (Kit Thacker), believing he has been having an affair with his secretary, Marjorie (Adrienne Burgess). They are just about to leave again when Roger arrives. He then explains how he was just looking after Marjorie, going with her for the odd trip to the cinema and theatre, while her husband was away doing a training course in Germany. Meanwhile, Mr. Ridge (George A. Cooper), the man responsible for the move, gets increasingly annoyed with the delay, and starts to unload the van until Roger talks him round. (Beatrice Shaw, Harry Fielder and Ridgewell Hawkes also appear in this episode.) Note: The episode was originally written as the Pilot. However, when it became apparent that Long Weekend would be used as the first episode broadcast, several lines and minor details were altered in that script in order for it to air first without breaking continuity with this episode. | |||||

Terry then tries to hide his new carpet, thinking they are the same. That night, Terry insists they return the carpet, and June, Brian and Tina accompany him. Terry and June get stuck in a window cleaner's lift while trying to get to the right floor and are discovered in the morning by Malcolm. The security man (Stuart Sherwin), however, says that the Medfords acquired their carpet legally, and so they quickly lie to say they were giving their carpet to the company to replace the stolen one. | |||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | "A Piece of the Action" | John Kane | John B. Hobbs | 5 January 1982 | |
|
June wins a prize in a raffle run by Terry's company. Sir Dennis's secretary Miss Fennel presents them with a 3000 piece jigsaw. Malcolm laughs and says jigsaws are for children and that Terry won't have time anyway as he wants him to do a report for Sir Dennis. Unfortunately, Malcolm has given him the wrong data and as he can't collect it until Monday, Terry and June spend all weekend fitting the jigsaw together only to find the last piece is not from their jigsaw. On Monday morning Sir Dennis is waiting for the report while Malcolm and Terry argue about who should take the blame. When June and Malcolm's wife Beattie crash into Sir Dennis's Rolls Royce they agree that Terry will take the blame for the crash if Malcolm claims responsibility for the delayed report. In Sir Dennis's office June admits to the crash, but his anger soon subsides when Terry drops his erroneous piece of jigsaw and Sir Dennis discovers it's the missing piece from his jigsaw. They swap pieces leaving Malcolm to explain about the report. Note: Series Four was filmed in the same production block as Series Three, giving the BBC the option of airing the episodes as one long series or breaking them down as two small series. Ultimately they became aired as two separate series, but with Series 4 beginning just over two weeks after the end of Series Three, and with the 1981 Christmas Special broadcast in between, causing very little actual break between the two series, and leading to several sources to consequentially list them as all Series Three. | |||||

| N–A | "Computer Games" | Terry Ravenscroft | N/A | N/A | |
|
Terry buys a home computer so he can submit work reports from the luxury of his own home, and to try and impress Sir Dennis, who has been bemoaning his workers aren't embracing the budding computer age. Terry insists to June he won't just use it "to play silly computer games", but every time her back's turned he's playing "Space Jewel Chomper", a Pac Man-like game, much to her annoyance. But when Terry attempts to connect to the work interface, his very amateur computer skills inadvertently begin playing havoc with local lighting and security systems - including locking June in the garage when it closes the automatic door behind her, leaving her angry at him. Late that night, Terry is using the computer when it alerts him to someone deactivating the security alarm at work; he uses the computer to trap the intruder in a style similar to playing the Space Jewel Chomper game, locking the doors in sequence and eventually trapping the intruder in Sir Dennis's office, impressing June with his resourcefulness. Unable to get the police to respond (who are busy dealing with false security alarms all over town thanks to Terry's computer), they race to the office themselves to apprehend the intruder - only to find it is Sir Dennis himself, who has been sneaking in at night to play Space Jewel Chomper on the office computer. At first Sir Dennis is furious for being trapped in, until June impresses him about Terry's computer skills protecting the company's security, and Sir Dennis congratulates him. However his mood turns back to anger when they find Terry's computer has left them locked them in the office and they're trapped until staff arrive in the morning to unlock - but cheers up again at Terry's suggestion they pass the hours by playing Space Jewel Chomper, much to June's chagrin. Note: A script for this episode exists and was scheduled to be filmed last in the Series Eight filming block, but didn't enter production. However, some sources that use the episode listing taken from the original 1985 press release, still list it, suggesting that it was dropped from filming late in the production of Series Eight, and contributing to Series Eight's unusual episode count (details on Series Eight's unusual episode count can be found at the top of this article). | |||||
