Alan feels sorry for girls named Beyoncé
Interesting.
He was sparked to say that after Usha mentioned New Zealand has brought in regulations to stop parents naming their kids silly names. Like Tallulah Does The Hula from Hawaii.
What’s wrong with Carl?
[Alan] “I’m beginning to think this bloke’s got too heads or something”
Is Usha representing Clive?
Usha’s not happy about a client she’s having to represent. She tried to palm him off on a colleague, but has “drawn the short straw” again. She’s represented him before, and knows that if she doesn’t get him off, no matter how clear his guilt, he’ll blame her.
That sounds like Mr Clive Horrobin …
Brian’s ignoring Jennifer
Jennifer’s trying to talk to Brian about anything other than the Super Dairy.
On Kate’s studying:
[Jennifer] “I didn’t think there was that much to say about vibration in aeroplanes … all sounds pretty dull stuff to me”
But Brian’s not listening. He’s getting angry about being asked for more documentation from the Environment Agency, which he’s already sent to them.
He later walks away when Jennifer was telling him the gossip about James and Leonie.
It’s simply Super Dairy, Super Dairy, Super Dairy for Brian.
[Brian] “I don’t understand it Jenny … I don’t know what else to do”
[Jennifer] “Look, come and have a drink .. .darling, how about a whisky?”
Brian’s particularly annoyed that it’s now after office hours on Friday, so he’ll have to wait through the whole weekend to see on Monday if the Environment Agency will finally send their report.
He’s especially worried about the Board meeting next Thursday. If the report still isn’t in, or if (worse still) the report doesn’t back the Super Dairy, he’ll resign.
Carl’s take on Ambridge
We get to meet Carl
And he’s sounds perfectly normal. Well, at least it didn’t sound like he was talking out of two heads …
He and Amy are having a drink in Jaxx.
[Amy] “Half the people in the village are called Archer. It’s a sort of, dynasty”
[Carl] “Lords of the manor?”
[Amy] “Not at all. They’re all farmers”
[Carl] “Except this Kenton”
[Amy] “I think he’s the bad boy of the family”
[Carl] “Two bars and a merry widow called Jolene, what more could a man wish for? … I must say I’m beginning to like the sound of Ambridge … an idyllic little village with all these boiling passions just under the surface … the gamekeeper fighting his brother over a woman …your posh friend running off with the village blacksmith … I wonder if it’s true of all villages … that beneath the tranquil surface, and the roses round the door, there are dark secrets and endless feuds …”
Amy doesn’t think that exactly sounds like Ambridge, and also points out that the worst thing of living in Ambridge is how information has a habit of “leaking out into the community”.
(ha! Hasn’t Amy just been “leaking information” to Carl?)
Usha’s a lemon
Usha walks into Jaxx while Amy and Carl are kissing.
She’s says hello, then tries to go and sit elsewhere. But Carl insists that she sits down with them.
She finds out that Carl works in IT, for a company that has something to do with automotive components. Just as Shula sometimes has difficult Carl, so does he (when trying to introduce new systems and the like).
[Carl to Amy] “At least all your clients are fabulously grateful!”
Usha later told Alan:
[Usha] “I felt like a lemon”
But on Carl:
[Usha] “Absolutely charming … early thirties … and very good looking … so polite and easy going … and he’s obviously just as smitten with Amy as she is with him … Amy’s found herself a good ‘un, be glad!”
Wow. Sounds like if Amy doesn’t want him, Usha would gladly step in.
Usha’s been in Ambridge for 20 years
Blimey!
[Usha] “I would say the pleasures of village life far outweigh the disadvantages”
Robert challenged James to step outside …
(well no, not really)
Jennifer had heard from Lilian that Robert had turned up at James’ door for Leonie’s stuff.
[Brian] “What Robert? There to defend his daughter’s honour? To challenge James to a duel?”
Though Robert didn’t challenge James, he did have to play referee. Seems Leonie and James couldn’t split their stuff without squabbling.
[Jennifer] “She tried to walk off with an Afghan rig that James had bought long before they got together and ended up having a tug of war …”
