Cara would be older than Deux-knees, so no.

Spot mon petit soupcon de Francais there pour les Jeux de Paris?

Très bien!

Ah bien sur, ze petit grey cells de Monsieur Snell doivent entrer en action et résoudre le mystère de la bouteille du cidre de fruits.

Est-ce que Madame Emma Bovvery Grundy lu Persuasion pour sa GCSE de literature Anglais?

Not impossible for a man in his 20s to be married to a woman in her 60s, but unusual. So probably not.

Arf! This is radio, though, so she can be any age she chooses.

The actors tend to be older than the characters. Aren't Shula and Kenton twins but the actors are of completely different age groups?

Judy Bennett was born in 1943, Richard Atlee in 1963.

WhoppingBigBackside · 27/07/2024 19:48

But there are only 2 minutes between Lily and Freddie.
There are identical twins in Ambridge (or one of the neighbouring villages) but I can't remember their names. They play cricket silently.

The celestial sausage-babies are not identical but they are photogenic.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 27/07/2024 19:55

The Gleeson Twins, Peter and Sean. They live in Manorfield Close.

Gonners · 27/07/2024 20:22

What a revelation! I didn't know the Gleeson twins had first names. That's because nobody ever has cause to address them, I suppose, what with knowing any reply would be silent, or even mention them individually.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 27/07/2024 20:40

We found out their names when Tracy thought it good tactics to play one and pretend he was the other, I forget why or the circumstances.

Oh, thank you! I have the vaguest memory of something like that! I wouldn't put it past Tracy to have had the better batsman bat twice.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 27/07/2024 22:26

I think you would be right to suppose that was what she did.

Synopsis for 3rd July, 2022 says
Tracy suggests putting in a ringer, Peter Gleeson instead of Sean Gleeson -- Peter scored well when he went in first. Pat is not sure it's a good idea, or even remotely honest, but Tracy is determined

Deux-knees,

And never the twain shall meet?

I hope we get a conclusion on the accident by the end of August

I'd rather like the scriptwriters' post-it note about the accident to accidentally blow out of the window and for it never to be mentioned again. Imagine the listeners' outrage!

WhoppingBigBackside · 30/07/2024 16:29

That's rather unkind of you @Gonners .
I want Kristiffur to chat to Joy and Joy mention that Alice only bought the big bottle of vodka, and that George, Susan and Neil were the only ones who had bought any of the fruit cider.
That and Robert Snell to look at CCTV/doorbell camera footage.

Ideally George will be filmed confiding in Bartleby and someone will post the footage online.

I want the Macks and Metcalfs gone.

WhoppingBigBackside · 30/07/2024 19:35

The CA didn't fill me with hope for tomorrow night.
I liked tonight's bit with Brian, Chris and Alice.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 30/07/2024 19:38

Chris standing up to Brian's attempts to speak for him and to browbeat Alice was satisfactory.

WhoppingBigBackside · 30/07/2024 20:17

He's come along since the 'moi woife' days.

Gonners · 30/07/2024 20:45

@WhoppingBigBackside That's rather unkind of you ...

One aims to please.

Scarydinosaurs · 01/08/2024 05:15

Isn’t Yasmin the hen of the hen party??

Or is it the name of Alice’s legal counsel?

Fingers crossed for a revelation this weekend…

RegimentalSturgeon · 01/08/2024 06:05

The ‘hen’ is Alina.

MollyButton · 01/08/2024 08:13

My real spoiler is that rumour has reached me that something dramatic might happen Friday.

TottersBlankly · 01/08/2024 08:19

Well … That’s what Friday is for …
