There
seems to be some confusion as to when Series 7 episode 10 “The Ice Cream
Truck” (sometimes known as “Ice Cream”) was first Broadcast. It was
listed in The Radio Times on both 2 March and 9 March 1991, and
the entry for the 9 March does not say that it had been postponed. The Knockwurst
fansite gives it as broadcast on the 2 March, as does
The Internet Movie Database. However, the BBC Programme Catalogue’s
entry gives it as the 9 March, hence why that one has been used on this
website.
