To be young, and able to sleep in after a heavy night
[Marty’s dad] “Rise and shine sleeping beauties … it’s a beautiful day out there … had a few shandys, have you?”
Jamie and Marty are crashed out at Marty’s head, but his dad comes in to wake them up.
So, Jamie and Marty then head over to Jamie’s house (well, Kathy’s house, to be technically correct) as they know she’s at work. They want to keep sleeping.
So they do. And Jamie misses work at The Bull. Again.
Then they’re off out again that night to a club (which was “wicked” and “top”), staying at Marty’s again.
This time, Marty’s dad isn’t around, so they sleep in until 2pm.
Which means Jamie missed work at The Bull. Yet again.
Nice one, Jamie. Very astute of you to also infuriate Jolene and Fallon, so that you’ll eventually end up with no job and no-where to live.
Shall you then be running back to mummy?
But hang on – from the sounds of it – “hanging out” with Steve and Marty in Borchester is likely to include shoplifting, so at least the Police can give you a lift home.
Alice interrogated by the Police
Although being told that she’s not under caution, Alice must have been sweating during her Police interview – she knew that a lot of what she was about to say was either a lie (that she and Chas are an item), or something that she’d only been told to say (by Chas, as she was too drunk to remember).
Asked about that chap Sean (the one who’d been beaten up):
[Alice] “He started dancing with me, very close … too close … and his hands, well you know …”
[Policewoman] “He was overly intimate with you … and did Charles Forster intervene at any point?”
(aha! Chas does have a proper name after all. I thought he’d simply been named after Chas’ and Dave).
Alice says that Chas did step in, but that he only pushed Sean away.
[Policewoman] “How would you describe your relationship with Mr Forster?”
[Alice] “… recently, we’ve been seeing each other”
[Policewoman] “And you were with him the whole time”
[Alice] “Yes”
Not clever to lie to the Police, I think you’ll find Alice. Not clever. At. All.
Jamie harassed by Polly’s mates
Jamie’s getting “grief” from Polly’s mates by text, after he ignored her the other night (when he was the one who asked her round in the first place).
It’s okay, Polly’s mates. If you want to escalate up from texting to something more … ahem … direct … none of us will stop you.
Chas is a proper ‘boo, hiss!’ villain
The :Police don’t see through Alice’s lies, so they let her go. The first person she calls is Chas.
[Chas] “Did you stick to the story … how did it go, did they buy it?”
Alice reckons she just told them what had happened.
Is she dense?
Surely she must have spotted that Chas was a tad too stressed about proving his innocence (guilty conscience), and that she doesn’t actually know what happened.
Why is she being so blind and weak when it comes to Chas?
She really wants to get back home to Chris, but it doesn’t take much persuading from Chas to get her to take a detour to see him.
And once again – chase is slagging off Chris:
[Chas] “He’ll be working tomorrow, with his little hammer in his hand”
(aye – but even the littlest hammers can cave a skull, I think you’ll find).
When they meet up, Chas admits:
[Chas] “The truth is, I did actually hit him … he followed us out, he was all over you and I had to get physical with him … he turned really nasty, I had no choice”
(on why he is only telling this to Alice after she’d now unwittingly lied to the Police)
[Chas] “I didn’t want you to knowingly lie for me … I did it for you, to protect you, you see”
[Alice] “I suppose”
[Alice] “I really think we should own up”
[Chas] “It’s still assault, no matter how pure my motives were. I have my finals coming up, and I don’t want this hanging over my head, you don’t want that do you … maybe I shouldn’t have done it, but I couldn’t bear the way that scumbag was treating you, taking advantage of a drunk woman, and a married woman too, you’re too good a friend to let that pass”
[Alice] “Thank you”
(on Alice being worried about Chris finding out)
[Chas] “How can he find out? Don’t worry sweetheart. Everything’s cool.”
What? What what what what?????
How utterly pathetic is Alice being. Why on earth is she behaving like this, and simply whimpering after Chas? Is he that magnetic a personality?
Very, very bizarre. And not remotely in ‘character’. Alice is an Aldridge, after all!!!
I don’t like this Chas, and I don’t like Alice when she’s around Chas.
I do not advocate violence, but Chris needs to find out, and give Chas a good slapping (I know – that is violence, but needs must!).
Their eyes met over sheep wormer
Pip and Spencer bump into each other as she’s buying sheep wormer, and he’s buying jumpers (don’t you just love proper country stores! Dog food, next to ferret food, next to bridles, next to clothing, next to sheep wormer!).
Spencer asks out Pip for a coffee there and then – which she’s only too happy to accept.
And even though they’re caught by a Mr Buxton (who owns a boarding kennels and breeds Springers … actually he’s quite dull when it comes to Springers. Tends to go on and on … seemingly), they then have a jolly time in Jaxx.
And Spencer is sounding more and more impressive.
Pip reckons he was very patient and good with the boring Mr Buxton:
[Pip] “You did very well Spencer. The perfect gentleman”
(could we imagine her ever being able to have said that to Jude over his behaviour?)
And Spencer isn’t worried about fashion (and all that nonsense). He just wears what’s comfortable. He was worried about being underdressed for Jaxx, but Pip reassured that the student types tend to look more like farmers than he does, what with their jeans and checked shirts. The trendsetters that they think they are …
[Pip] “I used to go out with one”
[Spencer] “The checked shirt type?”
[Pip] “It didn’t end very well …”
No Pip - it ended very well indeed. Jude leaving the country was a huge result!
Kirsty and Pip cat-fight?
Kirsty brings Pip and Spencer’s coffee over, but then plonks herself down at their table.
(to be fair, she did have Council types in, celebrating someone’s leaving do. How horrid!)
And did we detect a slightly flirty edge to Kirsty as she congratulated Spencer over his Fun Run win?
She sounded like she was about to feel a bicep …
Will Kirsty makes a play for Pip’s new man even before he has become hers?

Am I the only one who thinks Chas sounds like a Jude Remix? Never thought Alice would be as dense as Pip, but apparently so.
I onloy just listened to the episode but I agree with rsf820 - another Jude! But I'm confused - I thought Alice was still besotted with Chris?
I'm with you both - you're right that Chas it a bit Jude. And very perplexed by Alice. Her recent actions are very out of 'character' - she is indeed supposed to be smitten with Chris and, well, smart!
