Episode 30
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...
Brian: You’ve got a lot of explaining to do, Adam !
Adam: That makes a change, it’s usually you who has to explain themselves. What’s happened now ?
Brian: It’s your mother. I think she is having a bit of a breakdown.
Adam: What again ? The last time she had a ‘breakdown’, as you call it, was when she discovered you had fathered an illegitimate child by your latest mistress.
Brian: Hang on, that’s a bit rich coming from you. Remember Charlie Thomas ? Remember how it nearly destroyed you and Ian ?
(Ed. Ah yes, another of our improbable storylines.)
Adam: You can talk after all your misdemeanours. At least I don’t have a criminal record. Anyway, what’s wrong with Mum?
Brian: She seems to have got involved with some woman she found on that dating site you haven’t told Ian you still use.
Adam: Really ? How fascinating. I have often wondered about Mum. She’s always loved Dusty Springfield songs and Radclyffe Hall novels and wearing rather smart tweed waistcoats with a monocle. She said it was country wear but I always had my suspicions. And then there was the pipe ...
Brian: Look this may be a joke to you but you aren’t about to have your life turned upside down !
Adam: No, but Mum might enjoy that bit.
Brian: Well she’s now gone off to Grey Gables for lunch with this woman for all the world to see.
Adam: If you want to keep her then I suggest you start working on a plan to get Mum out of that shoebox and back into Home Farm.
Brian: And how am I supposed to do that ?
Adam: Well, you’re the great businessman, always giving me advice on how to run the farm. So work it out for yourself !
