Episode 18
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...
Jennifer: Do you ever think about the old days, Brian?
Brian: Well that depends on which old days you’re talking about, darling.
Jennifer: The old days when we had Home Farm. I cooked huge lunches for the shoot, the cellar was stocked with the finest wines, Kate hadn’t forgotten that she had two lovely children in South Africa, Alice hadn’t married an oik, Adam hadn’t started kissing men in poly tunnels, Ruairi lived far away with your mistress and Debbie hadn’t become a seriously famous film and tv star.
(Ed. Stick with the fiction, please.)
Brian: They certainly were the good old days. But why are you asking ?
Jennifer: I am just bored living in this shoebox with nothing to look forward to. I don’t think I can take much more.
Brian: You aren’t the only one who’s bored, Jenny. How about I poison some more farmland, shoot Justin Elliot and have an affair with Tracey Horrobin ?
Jennifer: Tracey Horrobin! Good God it’s bad enough that her ghastly sister is now part of this family. You really go too far sometimes.
Brian: I was only trying to cheer you up. Let me get a bottle of wine from the garage and we can talk about it.
(Kitchen door closes)
Jennifer: Huh! Well perhaps it’s my turn to have an affair. I’m sure I’ve heard Adam and Ian talking about a dating site called Grinder. I could try that.
(Kitchen door opens)
Brian: Here we are, darling, not a bad bottle of red. Where are you going now ?
Jennifer: Upstairs. I’ve got some work to do on the village website. You can make your own supper !
(Ed. I think she means Tinder.)
