Can’t Tom do the cooking?

Did I hear Brenda just say she’d done all of the cooking for the week?

I know Tom has expressed rather dated attitudes towards what he expects of a wife, but surely Brenda needs to make sure that they both share the domestic burden that her new job has created?

Not so much the modern woman after all.


Give it a wallop

And that makes for great video footage.

Jill does seem to be a natural, though. Following on from her stellar performance at Lower Loxley’s Christmas, she seems to have taken to the small screen with gusto.

Maybe she is the new Delia/Nigella/Fanny after all.


Your Sticky Wicket needs you!

It’ll be an on-going theme until the Sticky Wicket actually takes place, but, yet another year – and no-one is signing up for the sticky wicket. Again.


We just don’t like Jude

I think all of us are behind you on that one, Ruth.

“Mindless and irresponsible”

Spot on. While I don’t think he’s doing any of it on purpose, Jude is indeed deficient in all the important areas that would make him even a half decent person. No character at all.

• Probably turn out more like Fanny Cradock
• Great Grundy Merchandise!
• What’s the big deal about Kirsty?

Probably turn out more like Fanny Cradock

Could indeed – but what was Jill thinking that she might be more of a Nigella?

Deila – for sure – Fanny – most likely.

But I really can’t see Nigella’s vampish charm taking a Jill Archer form.

Still, she can but try!


Great Grundy Merchandise!

Oh aye – I thought Joe had been a bit quiet lately.

And there he is. With a pile full of (what probably is just) tat. And a scheme to make money.

Oh dear.


What’s the big deal about Kirsty?

Am I missing a subtle undertone, but what’s the big deal about Kenton being so desperate for Kirsty to work for him?

Does he want more than just a hand behind the bar?

Or is this more about Kirsty letting Sid/Jolene/Fallon and/or Helen down?

Or, something else to do with the whole bizarre Helen/Patrick/Kirsty/Tony circle?
