22 July 1996

Characters: Clarrie, Hayley, John, Lizzie, Lynda, Pat, Tony

• Lynda’s in the doghouse with Lizzie, who isn’t amused with her handling of the extras, especially after complaints from the film company.
• Lynda removes a poster Lizzie had put up calling for extras, which Lizzie pointedly asks her to replace, remarking that it might have been a mistake to have her involved in the first place. Lynda performs a wonderful <sniff> at this “misunderstanding”.
• The film is the talk of the village, it seems everyone wants to be in it.
• The Birmingham children have arrived – without fanfare – and the village is still standing.
• John is still getting a lot of help from Hayley, she’s putting up with him starting to take the unpaid work for granted, and John still hasn’t spoken to Neil about making the pig operation organic.
