  • Peggy, Jack and a box of leaves
  • Tom has a “Guilt free, therefore stress free, solution for the woman”
  • A fag and a chat with Paul
  • Too salty!

Not a warm welcome for James

Matt’s obviously not remotely amused that he has to suffer (a broken) James in  his (and Lilian’s) house.

He reckons that, despite his broken leg and the trauma of being in a car crash, James is a “lucky boy”.

[Matt] “Here’s you, with Lilian running round after you … Keep your orders to a minimum, keep yourself from under her feet, and keep yourself busy.”

It doesn’t get off to a good start.

James manages to get to the remote before Matt does … oh dear.


Joe’s teeth startle Peggy


She doesn’t need that sort of shock at her stage of life.


Peggy, Jack and a box of leaves

Peggy’s collected autumn leaves and berries to talk to Jack at the Laurels. They’re going to look at them, feel them and talk about them.

Sounds marvellous.

Jack’s a lucky chap indeed.


Tom has a “Guilt free, therefore stress free, solution for the woman”


Tom’s still banging on about what Christmas special he can sell.

Takes Peggy to have the bright idea.

She reasons that the:

[Peggy] “One thing the Christmas cooks need is time”

So, she suggests Tom markets his ready meals as a time save in the run up to Christmas.

[Tom] “Gran, you are a legend”

Brenda concurs.

[Brenda] “Guilt free, therefore stress free, solution for the woman”

[Tom] “Or man.”

[Brenda] “Yeah but it's usually a woman, and a man wouldn't stress about it in the same way.”

Hmmm.


A fag and a chat with Paul


Lilian’s a tad stressed herself, running round after James, and having to suffer Matt not quietly suffering James.

As she’s out for a cigarette, Paul telephones her, and calls her a “kind and loving woman.”

Keep this up Paul … she’ll be yours in not time.

(though it’s not been proved yet whether Paul is actually the nicer or better of the two brothers)


Too salty!

Tom’s readymade meals, ready made by another company, are ready.

(sorry!)

[Brenda] “Well done Tom. Can’t believe someone else has finally cooked them.”

The casserole tastes grand.

But the meatballs are too salty.

That’s a shame.

[Tom] “Someone’s going to come in to a rather unpleasant answerphone message in the morning!”

Steady on there Tom.

That’s fighting talk, that is.
