Fallon’s starting to worry me
She really doesn’t seem to have any life beyond working at The Bull. So much so that she’s willing to give all time possible to helping Lynda with Christmas around the World.
[Fallon] “It’s nice to get away for a bit. Manic Christmas parties all the time”
What about a night out? Go round a mate’s? Band practice?
At least she does have Nic’s hen night to look forward to.
Lynda’s not good on step ladders
Lucky she has Fallon.
Today, they’re digging out staging from under the stage and hanging it ahead of rehearsals.. Lynda particularly wants stage flats to mock up marble columns.
[Lynda] “It will give a whole thing a touch of grandeur, perfect for Jim’s recitation”
Seems Ian has the food well in hand.
[Lynda] “He says I should think of the food courses as performers, writing their cues and their exits”
Fallon even now offers to help Lynda with the favours for the performers. As well as doing the staging and serving the food.
Too much time weighs heavily on a young lady …
Pat’s panicking
In case she and Tony have got the wrong owl.
She also wants to stay put until Sharon, Eamon and Rich arrive. But that’s an hour away.
Tony manages to drag her round the market stalls. He finds some “little glass angels” for the tree, which he reckons Henry will adore.
[Tony] “Henry’s first Christmas make it a good one, though Henry won’t remember”
Seems like Pat also has a bad memory.
She already has one grandson …
Lynda doesn’t seem impressed with Nic’s hen do
Fallon's telling Lynda about Nic’s do, and that it’ll involve a pink stretch limo with a bar, music:
[Fallon] “Plus a poncy driver”
[Lynda] “Oh, how delightfully vulgar”
[Fallon] “Yeah! … Poor girl’s about to marry a gamekeeper. She deserves a bit of glitz. It will be all mud and feathers from now on”
(even though Nic already lives with Will, so mud and feather feature heavily in her life. But point taken)
When Tony and Pat met Rich …
2.30pm.
Sharon, Eamon and Rich arrive at the golden owl.
(tony did have the right one)
[Tony, trying to act surprised] “Hello. Hello Sharon”
[Sharon] “Pat and Tony Archer. I don’t believe it”
Tony does then direct a few questions at Rich. Rich seemed like a nice lad who was happy to natter. He’s an overview of what john’s son said:
[Rich] “Hi – yeah, she’s loads older than me – Lancaster, she likes it there – yeah, I go to training, some of have been in the county trials – thanks, it was great – bowler – any sport really, and science, biology mainly, quite like to be a wildlife conservationist – can we get on now – good, I’m starving”
Eamon takes Rich off to get some food.
[Sharon] “There, You’ve seen him. Are you happy now?”
[Pat] “He’s a lovely boy”
[Sharon] “You don’t have to sound so surprised!”
[Pat] “We’re not. He’s a credit to you”
[Sharon] “Me and Eamon”
[Pat] “Oh Sharon, thank you”
[Sharon] “I don’t want thanking. It’s done now anyway”
[Pat] “I don’t suppose there’s any chance …”
[Sharon] “Don’t play games with me Pat, you agreed with Eamon, one meeting only …”
Which Tony quickly concurs with to shush Pat and not annoy Sharon any further.
Pat asks Sharon if Rich took Eamon’s last name – which he did – Phillips.
And Sharon drops a bombshell.
Rich is just his nickname.
His real name is … John.
