I only recall reading it as speculation. Fortunately, ITV will highly likely be replaying the 1992 episodes so we'll be able to find out then if it's true.

Slightly changing the topic here but so far going through the 1986 episodes, I'm surprised at the lack of drama really going on in 1986. In the two other soap operas that Richard Handford has produced (The Bill and Casualty), there's normally been an explosion and some sort of major vehicle accident, each year he's been producer. The shows are also full of drama (however they are police and medical dramas). However with 1986, it seems there's just been a car accident and a whodunnit with a hostage situation, then Pat's death. Emmerdale Farm 1986 seems like one of Handford's less dramatic television years, despite three big storylines (Who Killed Harry?, Robert's birth and Pat's death).
