RT Review by David Crawford

The Grundys receive bad news about a loved member of the clan, and
George (Angus Stobie) has to put on a brave face when it becomes clear
he wonrCOt be around to say goodbye. Things get worse when revenge proves
a dish best served cold and George is targeted in prison.

Alice finds herself facing disappointment when discussions get under way
at Home Farm, Justin makes Brian a surprising offer and Stella faces a
crisis of confidence.

Just dangle the carrot, Justin: don't poke poor Bartleby with it

Any predictions about whether George actually gets out of jail and if
he does, any predictions about how long he stays out? >-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure the errant apostrophe in Tuesday's spoiler isn't yours,
Carolet, firstly because you don't do that sort of thing and secondly
because I'm seeing more and more bad spelling and grammar in radio
programme descriptions on the BBC website. Is it true that companies
are no longer allowed to provide unpaid internships? If so, I don't
think the beeb is paying anything like enough for the interns it is
hiring in their place.

Thanks again, for this and every week's listings and spoilers,
Carolet, and for continuing with the second set of spoilers at the
end.

The main activity was a cow calving and needing vet assistance.

David and Roof bought a new herd so that they could have calving in the
spring and feed the cows on summer grass to produce highest quality milk.

So in which universe would Pip be attending to a calving in the Autumn?
This is not just a continuity failure it is a complete disaster.

Meanwhile Head of Food is not told about a vicar taking a bite out of a courgette in a tent which is not serving food which emerges from the
Grey Gables kitchen. Is this:
a) Understandably not his responsibility
b) A complete communication failure

If you ask me it is the first. However he seems to think he should
know. Has he not been in the Church recently - even Brian and Lynda
knew about it.

Nobody has mentioned that the vegetables in a show are judged on
appearance, not flavour so Alan was completely wrong to be tating the courgette in the first place.

I have never entered produce into a show but I assume that the
organisers provide guidance to the judges on what is expected?

But then I remembered the County Show (or whatever where Helen judged
Celia Sparrow's cheese) where she clearly had no guidance on how a good
cheese should be assessed, so perhaps expecting guidance is a step too far.

How much toxic squash does one have to consume to get toxic squash
syndrome? I would have thought an uneaten mouthful of unpleasant
tasting squash would be unlikely to cause any harm. Even if swallowed I
would assume a possible upset stomach or similar.

I grew three cucumber plants this year from the same batch of seed. Two
of them produced bitter fruit which POI insisted we should not eat, one
did not and she was happy to partake. I had already eaten two (I think)
of the bitter cucumbers before the ban was pronounced and have suffered
no ill effects (beyond my usual strange mental state). Dr Malik seemed
to be aware of the potential (possibly rare) for an extreme response.
