Philippa has been celebrating 20 years of marriage spending it with the car recovery service after a tyre valve failure needing attention. In answer to Roifield’s query it is a china anniversary so hopefully she now has a completely new chinaware collection.
In Ambridge we were subjected to something even worse than Alice – Lee, his super heroes and decorating skills. In place of the Two and a Half Men of film fame we got the Three Dads, two of whom are actually competent at diy and one who is not. We know that Lee is everything which is not Rob – but did it need laying down on us with such weight; delicacy and lightness of touch seems to have departed The Archers until Mincing Vince revealed his attachment to Rex’s pigs Lizzie in relatively gentle terms. No doubt she will repay his views with interest within weeks. Salad and pig shit is an un-enticing combination which no doubt accounts for her apparent reluctance to say anything.
Our hosts fall to squabbling over snowglobes, although I do not remember them appearing on The Archers this week. But they are quite collectable.
Deviating from normal subject matter, Roifield recommends the latest class act from Ms Winslet, Mare of East Town, a recent television production and I am happy to add my endorsement!
Talking of class acts – this week I have seen Ms Lydia Wilson and Ms Gemma Arterton appear live, on stage, in front of my very eyes in the West End in Walden. The run is almost ended but they delivered wonderfully powerful performances from some very fine writing. I am also reminded just how wonderful real live entertainment (and a good dinner and a decent cocktail) can make the world so much better!
