As the comedy evening at the church faces problems, Sykesy steps in with a solution. Will his near-the-knuckle material just add another problem?
Christmas lunch at Brookfield hits a snag when David puts his foot in it and Stella clashes with one of the family.
Emma suffers embarrassment on a students’ night out, and Alice risks telling Chris about her new situation.

Never a good idea, that.
“Can I watch?”
Fortunately the turkey is so dry that his foot bounces off. As do the knives, saws, and farm implements.
I suspect that a gastropod of this parish would sell tickets Janie
What was this about? I don’t remember it happening this week.
He put his foot in it commenting on Stella’s ‘pins’, but that was to do with the ghastly Brookfield Von Trapps. I think that must be it, though.
What bunkum that was!
But it is another example of Stella cheerfully making someone be unhappy/feel foolish. I wonder whether that’s how she manages to feel good: make someone else feel bad. I have known people like that: they got ahead in their minds by standing on other people to keep them down or behind. Her attack on Jill was of that sort: it did no earthly manner of good for anything at all, and gained her nothing except Jill (and to a lesser extent Pip) being made unhappy by it. And in any case, what an unworthy target: a woman in her nineties! Go and pick on someone your own size, Stella…
I don’t mind Pip being made unhappy! Though it is so much more satisfactory if it’s something she’s brought on her own head, which this wasn’t.
A bit like Kirsty’s harangue at Helen: it was fully deserved but for the other things than stated. Helen couldn’t have been expected to read Tom’s mind, pre-wedding nerves are normal, I never felt she ought to have told Helen. But … for being a lousy friend in general, absolutely! Loved the line telling her to ‘inflict her friendship’ on someone else.
What a shame Kirsty took it all back. And Stella will probably end up apologising to Pip. Though not to Jill, is my prediction.
She will no more apologise to Jill than Toby ever did. Stella doesn’t “do” apology: she is always right, as far as she is concerned.
