I have to say I am a little more tempted by Lucy’s suggestion that Shula will turn on the charm and take Philip away from Kirsty – although why he would give up the righteous, holier than thou, hunt hating conservationist for the righteous, holier than thou, hunt master and property owner … oh yes I think I can see why now.
The writers obviously struggle with getting couples together – how long have the following been single:
Tom, Johnny, Lily, Freddie, Phoebe, Jazzer, Josh, Kate, Lizzie – it all seems so unlikely? I can understand that the older generation of Carol, Jill, Bert, Christine, Jim and Kathy may consider they are past it – but the proportion of singletons seems high to me.
And as for Alistair and Lizzie – somehow I just don’t think he would. Shula and Oliver must be a possibility too?
