The Wedding...

[NetworkGuy]

Quite a shock for poor old Jennifer. Brian's answer (of course) was "I'll get a drink".

Wonder how long it will last ? ! ?

I love it.

Rofl! I just knew there'd be a thread!

Oh this is wonderful. I don't know who is the bigger snob - Susuan or Jennifer.

I do think Alice and Chris are quite good together. I would like to see them make a go of it, and have her still join the RAF, and generally be a more inspiring and adventurous young couple than Tom'n'Brenda or Nic'n'Will.

I do feel a bit wary of the sheer number of 'social cringe' storylines (bumbling Grundys, vulgar Vicky and Susan, snobbery of different kinds from Jenny and Linda). But it's worth it to hear Brian on this kind of form -- he is supremely well played.

Seems I started both my last paragraphs with "I do" [Vegas wedding fever emoticon].

YAY!
I am still halfway thru yest's omnibus - seem to have missed out on the kiwi sheepshearers and whatever has gone on with kathy/kenton/jamie/facebook but OOH how exciting!

Actually, TMOAS, someone else posted same instant, in the 'murder someone, everyone' thread...

MaamRuby - Chris and Alice returned to Ambridge and Chris carried Alice (to the amazement and shock of Jenny and Brian). 15 minutes on a DVD of their wedding in Vegas and then off to see his parents. Jenny talking about the country set, and this is the worst thing she could have done, Brian says it's like a first attempt, but when Jenny talks about when they'd have an opportunity to confront Alice, Brian became defensive about not wanting to burst the bubble for his daughter {while hoping it won't last too long}.

Of course, you might prefer to listen to it properly with ... iPlayer Link when they put it online in an hour or so (?)

God that was good. I just loved the shudder in jennys voice, the crack as the final veneer of her vision of her perfect family falls apart.

Bring on the blessing and party at the bull, With all the horrabins on the invitation list.

Bliss

I was lmao as I listened to the barely disguised horror in Jennifer's voice. Fab.

Didn't Jenny shag some random bloke as well?

Yes, Jenny had a roll in the (best sort of) hay with cowman Paddy Redmond, who was Adam's father, then married Debbie's father.

Maybe that's what Brian was hinting at with "we'll just have to think of this as Alice's starter marriage, Darling". Lol.

Aha! Hypocrite!

'Good grief Brian. I'm related to a Horrabin.' Priceless!

Jennifer is such a gold-plated snob. I agree Brian is played very well.

Last weekend, a friend of mine said "I bet they come back married" I dismissed it out of hand!

"starter marriage"

Well remembered - I just couldn't drag it back from memory when I jotted that precis for MaamRuby.

Anyway, the iPlayer system caught up around 2100 so anyone desperate to listen can hear the whole thing before the repeat after lunch Tuesday...

I might have to listen again before bed. I am actually smiling just thinking about it .

I really enjoyed the slow realisation which dawned with the carrying over the threshold thing.

Agree with you, StayFrosty, about them being a good couple. I liked it when they were living in the holiday cottage and Jenny was tutting and flapping, but they were obviously totally happy and managing shared domestic arrangements just fine.
