Would someone please remind/tell me who Holly is that appeared at the end of last night's episode. I don't remember seeing her before!

Not the BBC Ruby but Biker's broadband provider. Packages come with a limit and if you just use email and look at newspaper articles online or play short clips on YouTube you probably won't exceed it.
But watching entire programmes on iplayer can take you over your limit and incur extra charges.

bikergran I didn't know you had a download limit on iplayer? Does that mean that the BBC get you one way or another? I know that you don't have to pay your license fee if you watch on iplayer only but I didn't know they charge if you go over a certain amount of programmes watched?

Don't forget to tonights episode! I have forgot to record it the last 3 weeks and had to catch it on BBC player (which took me over my download limit and put my bill up grrrrrrrrrr..).I shall now go down and set the recorder..before I do anything! else.

Played superbly by Ronni Ancona, the impressionist who works with Alistair McGowan.

She's gone to stay with her sister in St.Albans.
Perhaps I'll bump into her in BHS! grin

What's happened to John's partner, the one who lost the baby? We haven't seen her in this series have we. Wasn't she the one who was often drunk?

rosequartz Fri 16-Jan-15 20:15:21

And not that young .....

rosequartz Fri 16-Jan-15 20:14:58

Ooh, no.

He's a doctor too then?

Have you watched Bluestone 42? Tony Gardner plays a Colonel in Afghanistan. It is hilarious and full of lovely men in uniform. Series 2 is repeated late tonight on BBC1!

rosequartz Thu 15-Jan-15 19:33:43

and much too young for me wink

Iam64 Thu 15-Jan-15 18:42:47

On the spot there rose quartz grin

rosequartz Wed 14-Jan-15 22:32:19

He's drunken, useless, feckless but rather attractive. wink

Ana Wed 14-Jan-15 22:22:25

Well, I suppose it would be a tidy solution - we shall see! grin

merlotgran Wed 14-Jan-15 22:14:27

You never know, Ana He might turn out to be a knight in shining armour. He's got nowhere else to go. hmm

Ana Wed 14-Jan-15 22:10:48

Surely Caroline wouldn't have him back, merlot!
And TBH I can't see him being much help as far as babycare's concerned...hmm

gillybob Wed 14-Jan-15 22:04:12

You're welcome Culag it is very addictive isn't it? I did notice that comment pupledaffodil when Gillian (my namesake, although only ever used by my mum, the doctor and the taxman) said she couldn't continue to accept money for her keep once she was working.

merlotgran Wed 14-Jan-15 22:03:13

I wonder if John will get back with Caroline now there's a baby in the equation and he's just lost his.

Culag Wed 14-Jan-15 21:53:45

Thanks, I think I've got them all sorted now.

Purpledaffodil Wed 14-Jan-15 21:44:10

She does live there and her mum pays towards her keep, but Gillian has said that she won't let her do that now Rafe's girlfriend has left school and got herself a supermarket job. Addictive story isn't it? I NEVER get involved in plots like this normally.

Culag Wed 14-Jan-15 18:30:34

Thanks Gillybob, so does Raff's girlfriend live at the farm too? If so Gillian has a lot to cater for!

gillybob Wed 14-Jan-15 12:06:50

Ooops. Meant to say he is Raff's girlfriends, grandad.

gillybob Wed 14-Jan-15 12:05:09

Oh yes Culag he Raff's girlfriends, grandad (the baby's mother) he is also one of Alan's oldest friends.

Culag Wed 14-Jan-15 12:00:16

I didn't watch the first two series and am only just managing to sort out all the characters. Can someone tell me please, who is the guy who had a boating accident and had to sell his house? Is he a relation to any of the others? confused

rosequartz Wed 14-Jan-15 10:59:10

Yes, I thought oops, sub judice could prejudice the outcome or could now get thrown out.
