- TriviaThe title is from a line in the song "Billy Boy" concerning the topic of courtship and dates from an unknown source in 19th century America. "Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy? I have been to seek a wife, She's the joy of my life, She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother."
- GoofsWhen the murder victim's body is revealed, her mouth clearly moves.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Dennis Stanton: It's me.
Jessica Fletcher: It's not you.
Dennis Stanton: But of course it is. Damian Sinclair is dashing, intelligent, witty, compassionate. All my best traits. What I take issue with is this tailless dummy some hack illustrator's come up with. Really, now, I look like an aging gigolo.

Featured review
Dennis is back on the case.
Talented ventriloquist Woody Perkins is suspected of murdering a club owner who has him tied into a long term contract, want refusing to release him from it.
Not one of my favourites, but it's watchable, it's certainly a little different.
I initially used to see The Dennis episodes as lesser ones somehow, but I was wrong, I now enjoy them, and can appreciate that they're just as good, just a little different, Keith Michell was just brilliant. I loved seeing Dennis tormenting his straight laced boss Robert. Did Dennis swear, that's a first.
Billy Boy is one creepy dummy, beautifully made, but those eyes, the way they move.
Georgia Brown was excellent I thought, a real presence, but once again it's Keith Michell who steals the show.
7/10.
