I may be the only soul left on the planet who remembers an American TV series from the early 80s called "When the Whistle Blows". (Well, me and Ricky Gervais.)

Well, the scene hasn't resurfaced, but images have:
..,and now I finally have info to support my memory.
The episode was called "The Wildcatters" (S1E4), aired 4/4/80 on ABC, and our oily villainess was Ann Wedgeworth, best remembered for her year on Three's Company as Jack's oversexed neighbor.
Now if you'll excuse me, there's a film vault I need to search.
