I hate these hour long jobs....they take so much writing up....well here
goes (and it's complicated folks so hold onto your hats and I'll try not to
get you lost :-) )

By the way this episode was obviously commissioned by Dave and David.

Tara returns home from the ball with Piers, who obviously thinks he has
done his duty by escorting her and is about to get his reward in the
bedroom. Wrong. (I thought I detected a slight Scots accent under Piers'
posh one...was that you Dave ? ). Piers did have a few good lines (no pun
intended) like "Lady Lucan, married to the cocaine peer of the realm".

Zak's hens are disturbed by a helicopter flying low (they live in Mandy's
old Munchbox now).

Tara wakes up to find an intruder in her bedroom, who turns out to Alex,
old Lord Cokewell himself. He says he's missed her, can't live without her
etc., pleads with her to come away with him for a few days. She says no.
And then agrees.

[While this was going we had a helicopter low overhead....very spooky :-) ]

Zak is on the warpath about the helicopter scaring his *hanimals*. Having
tried Home Farm, he is speeding away from Tara's gaff when he meets another
car and they go off the road. He is about to have words with the driver
when he is knocked out by the door. This is Alex's henchman. Tara was
called to the door to speak to Zak and when she returns Alex has legged it
with all her diamonds. She took real ones from the bank to go to the ball
and Alex was obviously tipped off. She sees him get in to the car that
drove Zak off the road. She chases them in her sports car. They turn off
through a muddy gate into a field and she gets stuck.

Kim goes to see Outhwaite and tells him to *shape up or ship out* and when
she is returning she finds Tara falling about in the mud, much to her
amusement. Then she realises Tara is distressed and helps her.

Sam helps Pollard by matching photos of Outhwaite's antiques to pictures in
a book.

Tara won't tell the police about the theft of the diamonds because she's
implicated in Linda's death by covering up Alex's disappearence. She wants
Alex dead and sets off to an airport because he mentioned a time he was
leaving. But instead they go to Biff's to get him to do the dirty work.
Biff finds Ned, who wimps about for a bit, but eventually agrees and they
set off.

Alex is getting nervous as he has handed over the jewels and is waiting for
the money. The money arrives and guess who has it....Steve, who has agreed
a 20% fee. Alex tells him he's not getting 20% and so Steve goes to walk
out. The henchman shows him his gun, at which point Ned enters, shotgun
pointing at the henchman. He forces him to drop his gun. Steve quietly
walks out. Ned marches Alex outside for Biff to deal with him, but there
are another two henchmen and Biff, Ned and Steve are tied up and put in the
car to be *disposed of*. Tara arrives just as Alex is about to board the
helicopter, rugby tackles him and is generally feeble. Alex shrugs her off
and she lies wimpering on the ground.

Paddy is about to undergo a Dingle initiation.....two feet of ale. "Surely
that's a yard of ale, you mean", says Paddy. "No...are these your wellies?"
You can guess what's about to happen when the helicopter flies over and Zak
flips. They all jump in the van to follow the helicopter (yeah right !!).
They meet Alex's henchmen on the road and Zak recognises the car from
earlier. They threaten him until he pulls the gun. Zak, Butch and Lisa are
told to run away and he goes to move the van. Sam, Paddy and Mandy are
still in the back. Sam makes a noise and the henchman realises there is
someone there. Earlier, at the initiation Butch had a syringe with
tranquiliser in it, which Paddy conveniently now has in his pocket. He
sticks the syringe in his back and the gun goes off (firing through the
floor of the van I suppose.) The other two henchmen guarding Steve, Ned and
Biff run off when they hear the gun. Butch is about to drive the henchman's
car and scrape, dent it etc when he discovers the hostages.

Tara works out that it was the butler who was the insider and fires him.

Biff is all set to do in Steve for his part in all this. Steve admits he
was in it for the money, but tells Biff he knows it was wrong and killing
Alex would also be wrong. "You're no better than me, Biff"

[Phew, I'm knackered - ed]

That it and I hope it's only half an hour tomorrow :-)
I did think it was a very good, entertaining episode. I can't speak for
Coronation Street, but it certainly beats the pants off EastEnders just
now. Hope you enjoyed it.

Breaking a lurkdom which has lasted a very long time indeed, but I
'did' post frequently when this ng started, honest guv, I have to say
that the test card could beat the pants off EE at the moment.

And of course, Emmerdale becomes even more watchable this week when
all time Coronation Street goddess Cheryl Murray makes another
appearance. No doubt a screen grab or two hundred may make it onto my
website.:-)

Sadly I missed her first one the other week but received several
emails informing me I had done so the follwing morning.

A good point, excellently made :-)

Of corse I won't be. I'm just going to be delighted to see her back
onscreen. I spoke to her just before Xmas when her agent was
negotiating for her to appear and she was very pleased about getting
back onto TV after her rather upsetting experience at Brookside, of
which I will say no more.

She 's had a pretty rough time of it over the last ten years or so
it's great to see her on the up for a while.

I received the video of her appearance the other week yesterday and,
admittedly a little plumper but still the No 1 soap goddess in my
book. No-one has ever come close IMO!

Yep, I thought I saw someone smile on EE last week, then I realised the
TV had been turned upside down.
Why was the TV upside down?? Because I was watching Emmerdale before and
I was seeing if the reversed gravity would have any effect on a certain
ladies dress. ;-)

If anyone should find themselves with the same problem of the TV upside
down, I found the solution, which is to sit in the chair upside down and
hang your head of the seat. Could prove useful if attractive ladies
wearing dresses come to visit, but not if granny or a kilt wearing
Scotsman calls. ;-)

Nothing, but if I have a choice between seeing a Scotsman wearing a kilt
or an attractive lady wearing a dress, sitting upside down on my couch,
I'd go for the attractive young lady everytime.

Another lurker reappears...

Mike are you still here? I've just seen this posting and had to reply that
Cheryl was interviewed on 'This morning' when she appeared the first time
on Emmerdale. She was explaining about suffering from MS and that the
medication had made her put on weight, plus she is on Prozac to 'help the
symptoms'. She recorded 5 episodes of Emmerdale, but soon realised that
she couldn't cope with the stress of filming, so isn't continuing with the
part. I hope I've got the details right - Destructo-tot II kept turning
the telly over whilst I was trying to watch it!
