These photos date from the 1981 series of Love Story – A Chance to Sit Down. This was a two partner, made at Pebble Mill (although I suspect it was a hosted London production). Paul Ciappessoni was the director, Colin Shindler the producer, Sally Head the script editor, with the adaptation by Meredith Daneman.

Jan Francis played the part of Barbara, a ballerina destined for stardom, who appears in the first three photos. Del Henney, who played George, is also featured. The last photo is of Jean Anderson, who also featured in another hosted series The Brothers.

Thanks to costume designer, Janice Rider, for sharing the photos.

The photo includes Mary Sanchez (AFM), Eddy Grant and Jane Green (AFM). Eddy Grant came in to Pebble Mill to sing his hit ‘Gimme Hope Jo’anna’ circa 1988.

Apparently, Eddy had just told them a very rude and funny joke!
