Episode 132

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum....

(sound of whistling)

Jennifer:  Darling, is that you ?  You’re very cheerful this morning.

Brian:  Well, I have to say that things are really looking up these days.

Jennifer:  Oh, I know.  We are back here in Home Farm, Kate is happily ensconced with Jakob...

Brian:  I heard she needed handcuffs to make sure.

Jennifer:  Don’t be so coarse, Brian.  Alice has even stopped drinking.

Brian:  Is that what she told you ?  I’m not so sure.

Jennifer:  Christopher says that she’s stopped hiding bottles down the back of the sofa.

 Brian:  Well, that’s a good sign.  And Debbie might make a trip over from Hungary now we’re back in the family home.

Jennifer:  Now that is good news.  Is that what made you whistle ?

 Brian:  No it wasn’t.  I was in the village shop this morning and that poisonous old witch, otherwise known as Alice's mother-in-law, was gossiping with Eddie Grundy.  There’s trouble at Berrow Farm, possibly a leak of some sort that is affecting the water supply.  They’ve been trying to cover it up but it could be the reason that all the middle-aged women in Ambridge have become sex mad.

Jennifer:  How dare you - I’m not middle-aged !

  Brian:  Of course not, darling.

Jennifer:  But why is that making you whistle ?

Brian:  Because it means that I am no longer the arch-villain of Ambridge.  People have forgotten my misdemeanours and are now picking on someone else.

Jennifer:  But whose fault is it ?  Isn’t that ghastly woman Hannah in charge now that Neil’s left ?

Brian:  Yes, so it gives Susan the opportunity to tear into the current management team - which is headed by Justin Elliot !  He’s in the frame now and I couldn’t be happier.

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum....

(Ed.  If Debbie ever comes over from Hungary, I’ll eat my hat.)
