Sounds like Natasha is Tom’s Nuffield friend rather than Russ’s wife. At least I think that was her name.

What a strange way of working towards Oliver being the character witness for Freddie. It made no sense at all for Elizabeth to ask Neil - though I loved the meta-thing of having the SW acknowledge through Neil that they had completely failed to establish any connection between Frilly and Ambridge (other than friendships with their similarly aged relatives).

Neil was so good - as always.

Ages ago someone posted a prediction (based, l think, on someone who knew someone who’d overheard some of the TA team discussing future plots) that there’d be a big fire at LL. I wonder if we’re working up to that now - Ellis is the obvious potential arsonist, but Lily? Call me Russ?and who else. Of course so much time has passed and several changes of editor, so it’s quite easy to be.ieve it’s been shelved as an idea.

Radio Times
26 Aug to 31 Aug
Jim continues with his quest to give Alistair a purpose in life and finally seems to have hit the nail on the head with one idea. When Jazzer ploughs in with his next size nines and knocks Alistair‘s confidence with an insensitive joke, it’s left to Jim to point out just how much his son has gone through these past months.

Elizabeth is attempting to put on a brave face following last weeks shock revelation, but he soon facing trauma of a different kind of the council offices. Will Oliver managed to save the day for her?

Susan is struggling under the weight of her secrets and ends up admitting everything to Clarrie. And Helen is in need of a break as Henry‘s behaviour worsens.

Pat, Helen, Tom

Thanks, Gump!

Susan admits everything to Clarrie? Has she been sabotaging the cheese in connection with her kefir experiments?

Thanks!

I can see one saving erm ... grace ... for next week ...

Maybe Oliver is helping with the licence rather than Freddie then as the timing is wrong for court.

And thanks Gump!

Yes, licensing hearing is my guess. Kefir - interesting! I was assuming we're in for a protracted SL where Lynda goes on and on about the llama drama and eventually Susan admits responsibility.

And Tracey is heard again!

Maybe Susan has been falsifying the cheese fermentation records? She'll blame it all on the workload from Tom and the cheesemaking classes, of course.

I was going to say that maybe her smouldering resentment at The Extra Work had contaminated the cheese.

Have we found our suitor for Jazzer?

How can Tom be so totally oblivious to the deafening lack of romantic interest on Natasha’s part?

Tom and Helen do take themselves terribly seriously, don’t they. What was John like? I don’t remember him.

Tom will throw himself at Natasha. Hannah will throw herself at Tom. Round and round it goes.

Tom sounds about 14. He's supposed to be mid/late 30s, ffs.

Giuliani warns of “people’s revolt” if Trump is held accountable for criminal behavior. He was speaking from a golf cart at a Trump-owned course in Scotland news.sky.com/story/rudy-giuliani-impeaching-trump-would-mean-peoples-revolt-11480366

Oops. Sorry wrong thread.

Don't confuse the SWs, we'll have Trump opening next year's fete!

Now that would be a storyline. A Trump golf course bid. I bet he's a friend of Brian

Oh. Have just heard on PM that Patricia Greene (Jill) has macular degeneration. I think they said she’ll be on Broadcasting House on Sunday.

Thanks for the tip-off, Gruach, I enjoyed that, despite the subject matter.

I was a little taken aback by her gratitude to her colleagues for accommodating her reading difficulties.

They have to. It’s the law.

Well yes, but perhaps she “doesn’t like to be any trouble”. I would find having to rely on other people like that really difficult.

Although I hope by the time I’m 87 I am less bothered by troubling other people!
