RT Review by David Crawford

The Best Pub Award ceremony is approaching, but with only two tickets available, things kick off at the Bull and Jolene feels under pressure. ThererCOs a horrible shock for David (Timothy Bentinck) as he calls in on
a neighbour, which could have bad consequences for him and Ruth.

The Maliks celebrate KhalilrCOs big day, Zainab finds some interesting information at Grey Gables and Fallon faces a difficult moment.

Spoilers:
Sunday 12th - The Grundys make plans,

Ed and Will are going to kidnap the editor and Emma will talk at him for
so long he'll be forced to change the name of the programme to The
Grundys. Which shouldn't be too difrficult since they outnumber them
most weeks.

You'd think with a name like mine and being of an age like mine I'd be
well over mixing up Sean with Shaun, Mc with Mac and O'anything but I
still do it. Mckenna, O'Connor, what's the difference?

So I see the writer's name and I think - Oh no! Don't tell me he's
back again! And then I realise what I've done and calm down again.

(I'm hoping for a chorus of umrats all saying that they do the same
but I'm afraid I'm going to find out it's only me - again.)

I have a feeling he has written a few weeks previously and at least one
of them was a Malik heavy week like this week.

And do we know Esme Mulligan?

I am not sure that David ever entertained Sophie in a bedroom, but I may
be wrong.

But would that qualify as a "horrible shock"?

That implies 'something nasty in (or out of) the woodshed'.

I'm not sure David has ever entertained anyone anywhere.

Oh...you mean "entertained" entertained. Got it.

His alter ego has Soundcloud page where he shares his self-composed
music. Hmmm... I see what you mean.

That was more in the province of Ambridge's Mr Snowy, I think.

Spoiler alert! When George went up on the roof tonight it gave me
flashbacks,
