Quentin speaks for us all by saying that we are bored and fed-up with Alice and her love affair and just wishes that our ears can be spared by bringing the entire farrago to a conclusion, preferably sometime this week, rather than next. It is not educational, it is not informative and it is far from entertaining and therefore completely fails to meet the aims of the BBC. Where would Alice find a brick lying around in Ambridge? Why are her parents being so mis-portrayed? Why hasn’t her old friend Fallon swept in and sorted her out – or has the concept of friends been forgotten in Ambridge – after all nothing really happened with Carpet Burns (he was off duty at the time).
Our hosts are insistent that social services will turn up and put things right – I doubt if they will do more than a quick inspection of Ambridge View, check if Soosan can keep her kitchen clean and they will disappear in the sunset ignoring Alice as she is no longer involved in the child care unsupervised so they will leave it all to Chris – he is the father and he is doing all that is needed.
“Pressing charges” is the usual travesty in which soaps in the UK attempt to follow foreign arrangements – it is set in a rural setting in this country so the whole of the discussions on this aspect were complete nonsense. One wonders why they cannot get some proper advice.
Disappointing.
