    RT Review by David Crawford

    George must feel that someone is taking the P, reporting him to the
    police for public urination just as herCOs getting his life back together. ItrCOs his hearing this week, but which way will the latest twist in his
    story go?

    Perceptive Miranda (Lucy Fleming, right) is concerned about Brian, while
    Josh is also shocking his nearest and dearest, dropping a bombshell on
    Ruth and David. Hopefully all the Blue Lights chatter has now ended rCo is
    the editor a fan?

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    I don't think we've had three writers in a single week before. It is
    certainly a rarity.

    Spoilers:
    Sunday 22nd - Josh drops a bombshell,

    Presumably through the medium of interpretive dance since he doesn't
    appear in the cast list.

    and Justin thinks he knows whatrCOs
    the matter with Brian.

    And will get it hilariously wrong, oh how we'll laugh.

    Monday 23rd - George is up in court again,

    Send him daaahn.

    and Helen is at odds with her
    dad.

    Give up the Anguses, Tony, and run sheep instead for Borsetshire feta.

    Tuesday 24th - Alice checks in on Brian,

    Are you drinking too much, Dad?

    and David and Ruth are knocked
    for six.

    When the Bull cricket team has their first practice.

    Wednesday 25th - Esme is celebrating on Lady Day,

    It's a Holiday, but not as we know it.

    and George has
    something to say.

    "I know what you done."

    Thursday 26th - George has plans,

    I'm going to expand the drone business to target the straits of Hormuz

    and Ben breaks some news to David and
    Ruth.

    If there's going to be a war, I'm going to be a stretcher bearer.

    Friday 27th - Brian changes his plans,

    I'll double my investment, George, just to get at those Ay-rabs.

    and Tony makes peace with Helen.

    She lets him have a herd of Anguses on his model railway.

    Thanks for that, Carole. I was going to ask that very question until I
    saw that you had preemptively answered it for me.

    I suppose we will have to wait until next week before we may guess
    whether all the writers had so many side-projects that they couldn't
    deliver a whole six days-worth of script or whether the storyline is
    so fiendishly complex that it needed three separate writing strands.

    Bravo, John! I think that, if this were the US of A, that contribution
    might have been called a "Home Run" but as it's Dear Old Blighty may I
    just congratulate you for hitting the spoilers for six?

    John suggested interpretive dance. My money is on sound effects.

    I do wonder if the different storylines have been adopted by a writer
    for this week so one for Esme, one for George and one for Brookfield or
    simply no-one had the time to write the whole week.
