Episode 60

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Brian:  What are you doing back here, Jenny ?  I thought this shoebox wasn’t good enough for you.

Jennifer:  I just came back to pick up the rest of my cookery books.  I need a recipe for lemon drizzle cake.  Mum says Jill uses a special ingredient which makes it irresistible.

 Brian:  Never mind cake recipes, are you seriously going to keep living with this woman, Jo, at Home Farm?

Jennifer:  And are you seriously going to take up with Tracy Horrobin and shame the whole family ? I heard about your disgraceful behaviour at Grey Gables - dancing on tables, karaoke singing and removing your tie !  I don’t know how I can face Oliver or my ladies lunch club.

Brian:  And how am I going to face the humiliation of my wife moving into our former home with another woman ?  You wouldn’t believe the sniggering that goes on when I walk into a Borchester Land meeting.

Jennifer:  Well you should have thought about that when you allowed chemical waste to be dumped on our land.  And then you agreed with Kate that she could keep her ridiculous Spiritual Home business by sacrificing our home.

 Brian:  Must we keep going over all this ?  What’s done is done and all I want is for you to come back here and get our life back to normal.

Jennifer :  It’s far too late for that now but I can let you have a pheasant casserole and a game pie.  I seem to have made too many this week and Jo is not a big eater.

Brian:  Excellent, darling, I’ve missed your cooking so much.  Now I must dash, I’ve promised Tracy an off-road driving lesson in the Range Rover.  She’s obviously a girl who’s up for a challenge.

(sound of door closing and Jennifer sobbing)

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...

(Ed.  Stay strong, Jennifer, don’t give in.)
