One day he's visited at his country estate by a Canadian officer and World War II veteran, Jeffrey Buckingham (Paul Messie). Buckingham served time with Loddon in the same German POW camp before they made their escape in 1945, along with a third officer, Frank Wellney. Buckingham has a shocking allegation: the Mark Loddon living the life of an English country gent actually is Frank Wellney, who murdered the real Mark Loddon during the escape and then took his identity. When Buckingham goes public with his accusations, Loddon sues for libel. But there's one problem: Loddon has PTSD from the war, and can't remember very well...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Gossipy Hens: The old lady carping about the news outside the church, the day the story about Mark runs. She hypocritically simpers about how much she sympathizes when Mark and Margaret show up.

 Contrived Coincidence: Of all the things the BBC could have shown when Jeffrey Buckingham walks into a pub, they choose to show a program filmed in the mansion where his old war buddy Mark Loddon lives.
