Will insists he is just friends with Nic. Brian is taken aback to find Christopher is on first name terms with the nobility.

Radio Times: Christopher shows off his connections.

Characters: Alice, Brian, Christopher, Joe, William

• Alice decides to help out with the Boxing Day shoot so Brian invites her to eat with the guns. Alice takes this to mean Chris too which rather shocks Brian. But he is even more shocked when he finds him talking to Lord Elbury – or Donald as Chris calls him. Turns out Lord Elbury thinks Chris is quite a catch and that Alice and Chris are great together.
• Joe has a good time in his b & b. It’s only a pity Alf couldn’t come to pick him up. When Will drives him instead Joe takes the chance for a heart to heart with Will who assures him he is completely over Emma and that he and Nic are just friends.
