Neil pays Clive a visit
And it isn’t just to have a cup of tea and a bit of shortbread …
[Clive] “So Neil, what’s persuaded you to leave your pigs and come to the big city?”
[Neil] “Never mind all that flannel, I’m here because you’ve upset Emma and Susan”
[Clive] “No, you must have got that wrong”
Amazingly – Clive sounded genuinely surprised that anyone was upset with him getting to be pals with George.
[Neil] “We know you got Ivy all excited about this happy families rubbish, why is why Emma let you see him the once … but that’s it … now stay away”
[Clive] “This is your doing, isn’t it? You’ve always had it in for me”
Clive turns a bit nasty. He reckons It was Neil who’d got Susan to “grass” him up all those years ago – forgetting he had to threaten to Susan to get her to keep stum in the first place.
[Neil] “You got was coming to”
[Clive] “Yeah, well you’re going to get it too!”
[Neil] “Don’t you threaten me! We’ll have you back inside before you can turn around!”
[Clive] “Oh big man!”
Neil then, quite smugly, tells Clive that his plan to take George out bowling has been thwarted. Ed and Emma are taking George off out somewhere else, and no-one will tell Clive where.
[Clive] “You think you’re so clever … think you’re better than me”
[Neil] “Read my lips Clive, stay away!”
Phew!
I actually think Neil won that round. And Clive has shown his full colours.
He’s still a nasty ‘un.
Erin’s coming for tea
Erin wants to meet up with Daniel.
He doesn’t want to meet her in Ambridge. He said to himself that it’d only mean everyone asking if she was his girlfriend.
So, they agree to meet at the Arts and Café place in Penny Hassett.
Daniel shows Erin Tom’s football playing pigs online. She’s impressed with that, and with both Daniel’s farming knowledge and that he lives at a stables. It means he can ride anytime.
Daniel then, rather clumsily, invites Erin for tea. He simply blames his parents.
[Daniel] “Mum keeps wanting to invite you round for tea … like, you know, meet the parents”
And Erin agrees.
She does sound keen.
But not sure whether she’s keen on Daniel, or just to see the stables (and get on with their homework project).
Do we need to be reminded who is scared of Clive?
Surely everyone not in the know must know by now?
Time to turn off the microphones when folks like Shula and Neil (and anyone else) is running through the very long list. Becoming a bit repetitive.
No sugar? The evil bas*ards!
Clive is annoyed that there’s no sugar at Ivy’s for his tea.
And he’s horrified when Ivy has the cheek to ask him to pop out for it.
Well – actually – I would understand if Clive felt sheepish about going to the Village Shop (after all, he wasn’t exactly polite last time he was there!), but Clive isn’t annoyed by that.
He’s just annoyed that (the very sick) Ivy or the (very stressed and busy) Susan hasn’t sorted the sugar for him.
I couldn’t tell the difference between wheezing Ivy and squealing pigs
So Ivy must be very ill indeed.
Or, pigs sound like sick older women when they’re playing football!
Clive sees Christine
Clive – to himself - pathetic. Can’t even see when the sugar is running out. Better get something in for me dinner … a familiar face … yes, it is, Christine Barford … who’s that old codger with her … George’s replacement … last time I saw you, I torched your house didn’t I, should I go over and say hello, no hard feelings…
But Clive doesn’t go over. More out of not wanting to cause probation problems than wanting to scare/upset Christine. And I don’t think he was really serious about wanting to make amends.
Not sure if Christine spotted him. Jim seems to have looked over.
Clive is annoyed
Seems Clive is annoyed all of the time at the moment. Which can’t be a good thing for anyone else.
He’s annoyed at the way Jim looked at him. He’s annoyed with Neil telling him what’s what. He’s annoyed with Matt for lording it over him. And, he annoyed at the way he was treated when he went into the Village Shop.
[Clive] “I’ve done me time, and that’s the end to it, but people won’t let it lie …I went in the shop, nice and polite … you’d think I’d have a sawn off in me hand for the reaction I got. Hitler would get better service!”
Ivy doesn’t want Clive to get himself upset. And she says that while she sounds like she’s coughing up her own lungs …
… there’s nowt so blind, eh?
