Hides in laundry rooms

The new Eastern European character annoys me. She is supposed to not have very good English, but actually her grammar is perfect, she's just got a bit of a comedy accent.

Reminds me of the nanny in Clare in the Community.

I hope Harrison's family stay well away

What's Lexie got to hide from the police?

Agree grumpy - very odd.

The Lexie Roy scene was pathetic. Better plotting sw!!

Jill is really irritating me.

What's Lexi got to hide from the police?

Dunno what she's so worried about. It's not as if Harrison ever solves any crimes. The only person he has ever banged up was Jill, who committed the offence right in front of his nose.

Loving all the old Jill clips on Woman's Hour this week.

What's Lexie got to hide from the police?

Lexie's reaction to 'not want any trouble' is entirely normal for a victim of racist abuse who are routinely blamed for the abuse.

Thanks for the link to that bit of video, Gump, it was great!

Anybody else suspect Hugh Canoe said to Patricia Greene '60 years in TA, what an achievement - is there anything you'd like us to get Jill to do to celebrate?'

Lexi and Roy will bond when he shares with her his racist past and how he has learned from it.

Anyone want to hazard a guess how the Ambridge Money Fairy will cause Farrison to raise enough dosh to buy Woodbine Cottage?

What happened to the random bigwig who invested in Fallon's upcycling business - couple of years ago? As far as I remember they were referred to once.

Haven't got round to PG on WH - but I remember, in some other interview, her utter disgust at the way Jill was blatantly sidelined in the ongoing Brookfield story, particularly when it came to Phil's dividing of the spoils. So can well imagine that she's finally getting her reward!

De-lurking to say that I for one will be v annoyed if Oliver's fury over the mis-use of Grange Farm disappears just because Clarrielove makes a few meat paste sandwiches and a fruit cake for the funeral tea!
Unfortunately the SWs seem to have painted themselves into a corner with the Grundys as they are essential to the programme but essentially homeless but for the grace of others. I remember the whole Meadow Rise era which was heartbreaking but really well written and acted-Joe and the ferrets! sob!
The only way out if Oliver doesn't turn Ambridge housing fairy again perhaps would be for Eddie and Clarrie to end up in a tied cottage sort of thing at Grey Gables/Lower Loxley where Eddie becomes the groundsman and Clarrie some sort of housekeeper/cleaner.

That's a good idea sn1. I also would like to see Uhd-aay reaping what he sows and Oliver sticking to his line. Suspect he won't though. He'll want to see Grange Farm with a family in it, or some such, in which case, why not the Grundies.

Your suggestion reminds me of family history. My paternal great grandparents lived in a tied cottage on the Mount Edgecumbe estate. My great grandfather skippered the Earl's yacht and then ran the passenger ferry to Plymouth. Then my grandfather took over the ferry and the cottage and my grandmother was in service in the house. Seems very feudal now, but I suppose TA is somewhat feudal still!

Agree sn

I don't like the grundys much at the moment

I also would like to see Uhd-aay reaping what he sows and Oliver sticking to his line.

Oliver's already been very apologetic, according to Shula, so...

I grew up in a tied cottage. It is pretty feudal.

That was beautifully done, except for the last bit.

I've already forgotten what the last bit was.....

I don't believe for a minute the jug could have been fixed for so well given the sound effect of it smashing.

The intentions in that final scene were good but it was a bit wrong somehow. Felt like a script somehow rather than listening in.

Otherwise it was nicely done

Goodness, I found that a bit heavy handed. And the Ed as a broken chalice, now mended... dear me.

I mean heavy-handed in the format of piece of music followed by 'light' anecdote, tinkly laughter. I felt the lack of someone expressing raw grief.

The Rosetti poem in the service made me smile. It must be difficult for actors who (I imagine) can read poetry, to act the part of someone who can't. A bit like Les Dawson's mangled piano playing.

More wonderful Paddy Greene on Woman's Hour today.

If Ed is that good at mending broken pottery, he ought to go into antiques restoration. Maybe he could join Fallon's business?

Hello all have been lurking here
What was the poem about the crematorium and not taking too long I thought it was lovely

Right so. ed and the world's most whiny woman will get Grange Farm.

I luvs Ed!!
