Ambridge on the Couch

Is Brad struggling with his inner Machiavelli, and who was Rex thinking of...Alice or Krusty?

We spend a week in Blackpool and Scotland, welcome Peggy MkII to the clan and praise Brian for getting out of it....

As if an eight hour minibus ride to Scotland with her extended family wasn't enough, Phoebe now has even more good news to contend with.

It's more unusual to have the sandwiches after the funeral, not during, but this is Ambridge....Chris and Carly, George and Esme...it's all about to kick off.

Harriet gets a baby girl named after her, Jeff doesn't, no-one wants Georgie and Lilian's becoming more like Justin every day.

We ponder the Great Ambridge Otch-Up - who will go where when Home Farm comes back into play, Georgie's new leaf didn't stay turned over for very long and how soon should Josh wait before he pounces on a grieving daughter? 

This week, we acknowledge Khalil's new grown-up voice, wonder where on earth Esme comes from and wonders why Lilian's' behaving so badly.

Brian's put out to pasture and Alice is just put out.
