Was this story re-edited or did the original have a double episode? I noticed from the information above that the original seems to have been running for 15 episodes and the reprint 16 episodes.
In the Netherlands this story had 16 episodes, published in Tina in 1980 as ‘De lady is een ster’ (The lady is a star’).
Hi Marc, I don’t have the original to double check right now, if that is just a typo on my part or if there was a double episode. There are some anomalies I’ve found in reprints at times Fran -Friend for A Year is one where there appears to be 2 extra episodes in the reprint, it was more common to have the reprint not having as much episodes as the original.
