Philippa and Quentin cover the week in Ambridge — Sunday 28th to Tuesday 30th June — and Brian has properly lost the goodwill of even his most loyal defenders.
Kate finally gives Brian both barrels after manure is dumped right next to her field, and rightly so. Ed gets caught in the crossfire between Brian's demands and the Borchester show. Amber is distinctly unimpressed by a very expensive smart cot, and the cracks with her parents continue to widen. Ian proves spectacularly hopeless covering reception at Grey Gables. Helen manages to be Helen about wallpaper. And Lottie and Chris's evening takes an unexpected turn.
Plus: thoughts on the new scriptwriter's confident first week, a Doctor Who reference explained courtesy of the Facebook group, the SUV driver mystery resolved (somewhat underwhelmingly), and a preview of this Friday's two-part Stella interview.
