As winter sets in, the animals are feeling the strain
One of Tom’s pigs have a wheeze (though he doesn’t seemed to concerned about it), and one of David’s sheep might have orf.
While David might have to vaccinate his whole flock, Tom won’t let Jazzer take the pig in.
Tom could be right that it isn’t that serious, and Jazzer is obviously concerned about more than just a pig.
Especially as he even offered to work longer for no pay (which just isn’t like him at all!).
As Tom tried to illustrate in a very bad accent, Jazzer’s simply trying to avoid his first Panto rehearsal.
At least Peggy is proud of Tom
It has to be said that Tom is doing a good thing by trying to save Bridge Farm expense, but it’s the way he goes about it.
Tony’s only ever going to say ‘no’ to Tom’s ideas, because Tom only ever makes him feel old fashioned or daft for not having made the changes before.
And even Jazzer’s losing his temper with his over-eager approach:
“I could die of extreme old age before I ever gave a damn about your yard lighting”
Which was a bit harsh of Jazzer, but he’s likely had enough of Tom going on and on and on and on and on …
But good old Peggy is at least being nice and excited about Tom’s plans.
“So refreshing to hear someone with a clear plan for that farm”
But – Peggy does still manage to slip Con into the conversation (she mentioned she’d been telling Con about Tom’s plans).
A great-grandmother who is more excited about energy plans
As much as I have a very soft spot for Peggy, and am glad she’s finding a wee bit of happiness through Con, it’s very off-putting that she still can’t find any joy for Helen’s pregnancy.
As she was talking to Tom about the email she’d sent back to Con, she quickly changed the subject when Tom asked her if she’d mentioned that she was about to become a great-grandmother.
That’s a shame. On Helen, and on her soon-to-be little one.
Do we reckon both Peggy and Tony will come round once they get to actually hold the new addition to their clan?
Panto ‘snot’ moments #3
[David] “I had the dolphin’s speech off by heart – couldn’t get beyond ‘we’re talking at cross porpoises’”
Pip’s having to pull out the stops
Oh dear.
That church organ doesn’t sound a friendly fella at all.
Pip’s struggling to learn the piece for the Advent Service, but likely all will be well in the end.
Especially as it’s a tribute for Phil.
Phew! No more dark corner for Peggy
Seemingly it was only a pulled wire, which Tom sorted out (and then was rewarded with a can or lager).
Seemingly that ever naughty Bill was the culprit (despite no real evidence).
Something had given the light a right thump.
But could it have been Ben???
Jill needs her hive (and attitude!) fixed
As Peggy needed her family to help fix her dark corner, Jill needs the roof of one of her hives fixed.
Which is fair enough, but what a horrid attitude she’s got towards Peggy and Con.
Jill needs her bee hive roof to be fixed
[Peggy] “I do still find it odd … how excited she is about Con’s email … even though he made things so difficult for her last time … if it had been Phil … it would have been disloyal”
[David] “All Peggy’s going through, it must be nice to have someone else to think about for once”
Quite right David. Jill is also going through a horrible round of ‘firsts’ without Phil, but she could at least be happy that Peggy is happy.
And let’s face it – Jack isn’t exactly going to notice Peggy sending a few emails …
“Madam Snell hasn’t driven you to the evil weed an all, has she?”
It’s Jazzer’s first Panto rehearsal, and he’s already having a fag break.
Eddie stumbles into him in the dark, as he also escapes.
But it’s not Lynda that’s the problem – it’s that rascal Nathan Booth.
Nathan’s really winding Eddie up by saying his lines early, upstaging him (surely not possible?) and pulling funny faces.
[Jazzer] “If you were Nathan Booth, wouldn’t you want to try on a new face?”
Eddie then also has to put up with Jazzer being cheeky about his part in the Panto:
“All you ever say is ‘I’m a rat I’m a rat, what do you think of that?’”
But Jazzer’s soon forgiven as he hatches a crafty plan …
Nathan Booth is in for it …
Nathan’s been trying to get Joe’s race videos from Eddie so that he can clean up at the Race Evening.
Which Eddie is utterly appalled by Nathan’s plan, as the Race Evening is in aid of the British Legion.
[Jazzer] “Slippery than a butter deal that one”
was Jazzer’s estimation of Nathan.
[Jazzer] “Let’s be a bit smart about it – bout time wee weasely Nathan learned a lesson”
Nathan really ought to be shaking in his socks. What with a dynamic duo like Jazzer and Eddie on your case …

wasn't it a buttered eel not a butter deal? Peggy (like Tony) will come round once the sproglet is born. As did Mrs P (Peggy's mother) when the illegitimate Adam was born many years ago (when illegetimacy was still a bit of a stigma).
Ah Ruth - you understand Jazzer better than I do. My excuse that while I am Scottish, those near-Glasgow accents are often not fit for those outwith.
Hoping Peggy and Tony do come round. I think a higher chance of Peggy - Tony has been extra grumpy of late, and think he might hold a grudge well in the kid's teens.
