Radio Times Ambridge Diary - March 22nd-27th 2026

Perceptive Miranda is concerned about Brian, while Josh is also shocking his nearest and dearest, dropping a bombshell on Ruth and David.

Who’d be a parent? Barely have Ruth and David taken in Josh’s shock news that he’s leaving Ambridge when he drops another bombshell. Then Ben rattles them with an announcement of his own.
Brian’s a bag of nerves under the strain of protecting Ruairi and the threat of being blackmailed by George. Alice and Miranda are concerned, but Miranda’s less sympathetic when he blindsides her with a startling decision. Miranda’s ex Justin is also in the doghouse when Lilian berates him for telling porkies.
George is in court, and, in a rare moment of self-awareness, worries about Esme finding out. And Tracy’s concerned about Helen’s move. Does anyone really want their boss living on the same street?
