The Archers: Brenda’s first day … Kathy makes an effort

  • Watch carefully, as the alpha female puts the newcomer onto making coffee
  • So is that why Matt’s a new man?
  • Is it now ‘too little, too late’ from Kathy?
  • Don Sandon?
  • Come on, Brenda can’t be that thick!


Watch carefully, as the alpha female puts the newcomer onto making coffee

That couldn’t have gone any other way really.

Lilian was at her subtly spiteful best, making sure that Brenda didn’t get any ideas about ‘how important’ her job is.

There’s the coffee. No sugars for us. Now go away while we adults talk (to paraphrase).

“where is the business development bit in making coffee?”

Surely Brenda should twig that she should ask that of Lilian, rather than Matt?

Why would you go for a job where one of your bosses blatantly thinks you’re an imbecile, and has to be ‘won’ over?

Still, Brenda was never the brightest of the bunch. After all, she is still with Tom’s sausages


So is that why Matt’s a new man?

In telling Brenda that

“you gotta take things slowly”

with Lilian (to win her over), is Matt saying more about a cunning plan?

Did he spend that time in prison working out how he could play it calm with Lilian, more for his own need than hers?

Has he really not changed?

And why was he so keen to give Brenda a job?

Should Brenda’s new job title be ‘patsy’?


Is it now ‘too little, too late’ from Kathy?

Kathy’s now decided that it’s up to her to make the first move, and tries to make peace (and happiness?) with Kenton.

Her great plan involved waiting up for him, to have a drink and a talk (steady on!).

But of course, Kenton still isn’t home even in the wee hours.

Has he got something more interesting elsewhere, I wonder.


Don Sandon?

Who he???


Come on, Brenda can’t be that thick!

Was it just me, but did Brenda only realise tonight that she might not be able to trust everything that Matt says?

She should start churning out bairns with Tom if she really has that bad a memory (‘what pain?’)

She’s already having to tell Tom wee white lies about her first day being okay.

And we all know where that can end up …

While I’m here:

“jumped out of the frying pan into the microwave”

didn’t work for me.

But I did like

“don’t judge a book by the words”

As Jazzer indeed once mumble.
