Kenton 007 is involving Jill in his mission to save the Christmas Show.

Radio Times: Jim is disgruntled, and Kenton devises a secret strategy.

Characters: Elizabeth, Jazzer, Jill, Jim, Kenton, Neil, Susan

• Jim is upset that the Borchester Life article has been edited. He’ll never be able to show his face in Ambridge again. He thinks the article is dreadful. But Jazzer thinks it’s fine. He like the sub heading of “the axeman cometh”. And the use of apostrophe’s *ironic smiley*.
• Neil admits to Susan that he simply can’t tell what is going on with Ed’s business. He should have realised that things were going wrong. It’s not his fault. Ed has learned a lot about livestock but no-one has ever told him anything about the business side. It will be tricky how he approaches Ruth.
• Kenton is making more plans for his mission to save the Christmas show with Jill. All very James Bond. He’ll need more mince pies plus blindfolds and extra ankle bells. Jill is beginning to think it is 50 Shades of Grey. She draws the line at a pig’s bladder though – it will have to be a balloon on a stick. Jill is loving it.
• Susan says Emma is just pleased that the move is all settled. Neil will never want to see her starving herself to feed her kids again. At least now she is looking forward to Christmas. Tracy won’t be able to be at the carol concert at Loxley Barrett though, not now she’s been suspended for handling a child roughly. Neil thinks she’s her own worst enemy.
• Elizabeth is looking at her plans for the conference option. Roy is having a look around to see what people think including from weddings that didn’t follow through. It’s looking quite positive.
