Radio Times: The odds are stacked against Lynda.

Characters: , , , ,
  • Peggy, Jennifer and Lilian get to the garden centre to look at summer houses although Peggy still worries about leaving Jack. Lilian wasn’t supposed to be coming but Matt has gone off to see Steven Chalkman on business again. Lilian tries to convince Peggy to order the summer house right away. In an aside Lilian tells Jennifer, they need to choose it as soon as possible because they don’t know how long Jack and Peggy will still have together at the Lodge.
  • Joe is planning the turkey plucking but is upset things will be different this year. Ed can’t help and Will is unlikely to come back.
  • The pantomime rehearsal doesn’t go well and in the middle of it Lynda takes a call to hear that Sabrina Thwaite won’t be able to play Jack after all – she is off on a surprise skiing holiday. Lynda is devastated and bursts into tears.
  • Peggy does end up ordering the summerhouse but the afternoon ends up in a bit of a squabble about where everyone is spending Christmas.
