Summary
This week in Ambridge (Sunday 31st May – Tuesday 2nd June), Philippa and Katie dig into the drama at Home Farm, where Alice is clutching at straws and Ed Grundy gets an unexpected job offer. Rex has a week of two very distinct halves — overdoing it with Alice's sobriety, then absolutely finding his voice with Brian in a way nobody saw coming. Stella makes a welcome return, and her honest chat with Brian is a highlight of the week. Tom and Natasha are officially bad at money. A climate-controlled bubble wrap greenhouse (starting at £50k, going up to a cool million), boots on eBay, and a passing suggestion to sell the business — it's not looking good. Meanwhile, Martyn's enthusiasm for management speak gives Ian a headache, but their relationship edges forward. Plus: biscuits get the appreciation they deserve, Ed might win the Borchester Show, and Philippa has seen the cast list for later this week and isn't saying a word. Stars and twits of the week, predictions, and the news that the interview with Andrew (who plays Adam) is out this weekend — and it's a corker. Coming soon: the second half of the Adam interview with your Facebook questions. Topics covered: Home Farm: Brian, Alice, Ed and the staffing crisis Rex and Alice's sobriety storyline Stella's return and her frank conversation with Brian Tom and Natasha's financial disasters (climate greenhouse, eBay boots, private school) Ian and Martyn's management-speak clash Star of the Week: Rex / Stella Twitch of the Week: Martin / Tom Predictions: Brian's collapse, Tom and Natasha going bust, the Borchester Show Hosted on Acast.
