Mike’s back, and with a chainsaw

It’s been a while since we heard from Mr Vicky.

But then again, I suppose we really couldn’t have had Brenda’s 30th birthday without him.

Anyway, welcome back Moike, and be careful with that chainsaw.

Harry’s also popped up again, but chainsaw bereft. Which I think is good. Still not sure about that chap …


Brenda has low expectations

[Brenda] “Is it Borchester or Felpersham”

Ah, bless her. She’s trying to guess where Tom’s driving her.

But then again, I suppose she does have her trip to Berlin to look forward to.

And at least Tom does blindfold her (which I assumed would at least display her disappointment!).

Brenda the Unassuming – Tom the Man of Mystery …

Or Sir Jasper … according to Brenda.

Saucy!

She wears her silk pyjamas in the summer when it's hot,
She wears her woollen nightie in the winter when it's not,
But later in the springtime, and early in the fall,
She jumps between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

"She's a most immoral lady,
She's a most immoral lady,
She's a most immoral lady,
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

Oh, Sir Jasper do not touch me,
Oh, Sir Jasper do not touch me,
Oh, Sir Jasper do not touch me,
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

Oh, Sir Jasper do not!
Oh, Sir Jasper do not!
Oh, Sir Jasper do not!
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

Oh, Sir Jasper do!
Oh, Sir Jasper do!
Oh, Sir Jasper do!
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

Oh, Sir Jasper!
Oh, Sir Jasper!
Oh, Sir Jaspert!
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

Oh, Sir!
Oh, Sir!
Oh, Sir!
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.

Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
And she lay between the lily-white sheets with nothing on at all.


What a surprise!

[Brenda] “Oh my god – it’s … it’s …Willow Farm! … Oh Roy … Kirsty … Gabby from Radio Borchester!”

Brenda was genuinely delighted to be going back to the family home for her birthday party, for her neighbours and local friends to be there AND she loved the memories Vicky had collected.

I was a bit surprised, but then again – Brenda’s not exactly one of living the high life.

Question is – why did Tom get it so wrong? He was sure Brenda would hate everything Vicky has organised for her. It’s almost like he doesn’t know Brenda at all …


Delaying the pain?

It would seem Freddie and Lily may not have to take their entrance exams … well, not for a wee while, at least.

Elizabeth’s worried it’s all too much stress for them, and wee Freddie isn’t sleeping. So she’s tasked David to call the schools to see if the twins can get a stay of execution.

I wouldn’t know what would be worse – having to do them now, or have those exams hanging over their heads for even longer.


David and Ruth have an early night

To get some well-earned sleep.

(well, what did you expect?)



Harry is a heathen and a Sassenach

Jazzer isn’t holding back on Harry as he tries to explain what Burns Night is all about.

[Jazzer] “You don’t just eat haggis … the haggis is the hero of the night!”

But they’re back to being best buddies again when Harry agrees they should host their own wee Burns Night:

[Harry] “I’ll cook, and you can make sure everything is suitably Scottish”
