Charlie
Spoilers abound for Scottish viewers.
A few Biff and Tara scenes for us fans :)
Opening credits
Street
Heather and the rest of the family pull up in the car. They appear to
be moving into the Woolpack. Alan and Terry are stood on the steps to
welcome them. Terry isn't happy with this turn of events.
Kathy's cottage
Rachel turns up to take Alice to soon. Tells Kathy that its a big
favour after what she said yesterday. They begin to discuss who could
have called the police (oh we wonder).
Home Farm Woods
Chris is sat in the middle of some trees as Roy runs about trying to
find the body. He remembers where it was and pushes Chris over to it,
Chris looks shocked.
Woolpack
Alan tells Heather that they are welcome to stay in the pub as long as
they want to. Heather talks about the fact they have lost everything.
Dingle's Estate
Zak and Butch are at the van, Butch is explaining how he can't sleep
because of the body. The phone can be heard ringing in the background,
someone answers it. Butch thinks there is a curse on them now. Lisa
comes out and says the phone call was from Chris Tate and he wants to
see them up at Home Farm. Lisa guesses that there is something wrong.
Post Office
Donna refuses to take out the stud and is determined to go to school
with it in. Viv asks Vic who she reminds him of. She tries to send
Donna to her room, to which Donna replies, Make me. She finally takes
the stud out and throws it across the shop.
Street
Donna comes out of the post office and sees Mandy, they chat for a
moment and then Mandy walks past to the Tea Rooms and Donna reaches into
her pocket for another stud and puts it in.
Primrose Cottage
Kim is on the phone to her German businessman, she is trying to get
another appointment with him but he refuses. She takes the lost
contract out on Steve.
On a main road
Zak and Butch are in the van on the way to Home Farm. Butch is going on
about how they are guilty and how he thinks they will end up in jail.
This begins to grate on Zak's nerves and he tells him to shut up.
Woolpack
Alan and Terry tell Heather that there is no room for Jed in the pub.
Heather seems quite relieved. She is blaming him for the loss of the
house and gets pleasure from telling him there is no room. He responds
in the typical manner and calls her a hard faced sow.
Tea Rooms
Eric wants a word with Kathy. He expresses the fact that he is genuinly
worried about her as he thinks she is finding it hard to balance her
work and personal life, and wonders if he could help. Kathy susses that
it was probably him who called the police but he denies it. Kathy
storms out and Marlon questions Eric about calling the police and tells
him he doesn't like what he is doing.
Woolpack
The Hutchinsons are wondering what to do about their house. It appears
they are not insured and they have lost everything. Kirsty is lamenting
about how she has lost all of her clothes and CDs. Lynne tells her to
look on the bright side, all her school books have been burnt.
Home Farm
Zak is walking into the office, preparing what he is going to say. He
wants to act innocent and deny everything. Butch thinks it will be
better to tell the truth. Chris asks them if they have a solicitor.
School
Andy and Robert think that it is cool that Donna is standing up to the
school and coming in with her nose stud. She says she is standing up
for her right to education.
Home Farm
Chris says that he has Roy present as Zak murdered once, there is a
chance he could do it again (we could only wish). Zak denies any
knowledge of anything but his plan is scuppered when Butch decides to be
truthful and spills the whole story about finding the body in the boot.
Chris acts very serious and says the police have been called, but then
Roy starts to crack up and Chris joins in. It appears the skeleton was
a doctors skeleton and had a note in the pocket saying that it belonged
to the University of Leeds Medical School.
ADVERTS
School
The kids are all chanting for Donna, the head comes out and demands to
know what is going on. Donna again claims her right to be educated and
says that Rachel is behind her, she stirs up the rest of the pupils.
The head then puts them to a test to see how many of her supporters stay
after he threatens them with exclusion too. Unsurprisingly they all
leave. Donna is sent home again. Rachel tells her about Kirsty's
house.
Dingle's Estate
Lisa and Mandy are finding the whole skeleton thing very very funny,
much to the annoyance of Zak. He feels like a fool. Butch tells them
that he was petrified and this sets them all off again.
Woolpack
Kirsty and Donna are in the back talking. Kirsty is telling how the
stud doesn't seem so important anymore now she has lost everything so
she has taken it out and is going to school again tomorrow. Donna still
won't take her's out.
In the Merc
Biff and Tara are driving along a road which has moors on either side.
BIFF: You fancy doing something tonight?
TARA: [sad] Biff, I can't
B: Why not?
T: I've got this charity gala.
B: Never mind
T: I don't want to go, but I promised.
B: Hey, no sweat.
T: Can you pull over?
B: What for?
T: There's a great view from here.
B: [looking in rear mirror] Aye, there's a great view from here and all.
[Tara smiles, the car pulls over and they get out]
B: Bring all your secret lovers out here do you? [takes cap off]
T: No, you're the first. Oh I'll miss you tonight [kisses him] There's
a rug in the boot, get it out. [Biff puts his chauffeur's hat on Tara
and goes to the car]
Woolpack
Zak is trying to pass the incident off as a joke to Alan and Terry.
Paddy and Mandy are discussing him being the chairman, he wants to get
out of the job. Terry wants to know how long the Hutchinsons are
staying as the place is only small and they will all be tripping over
one another. Heather comes up and tells them she doesn't know what she
would have done without their help. Paddy comes to the bar and trys to
make the peace with a very disgruntled ex-chairman Alan.
Post Office
Donna is still being stubborn and drops Rachels name into the entire
stud fiasco thing again. Viv comments that she is turning into another
Kelly. Donna fires back with 'at least that might get me some
attention!'
Tearooms
Kathy and rachel are discussing whether the informer could have been
Eric. Rachel seems a little unsure but is soon convinced but says Kathy
knew what he was like before she went into business with him.
Charity Event
Biff pulls up at the venue and Tara tells him she isn't looking forward
to it. Biff asks if she wants him to wait for her, but she tells him to
go off and have a night out, she'll get a taxi. She blows a kiss at him
and tells him she will miss him. He replies 'me too' and then she walks
into the place.
Primrose Cottage
Kim is crying, Steve walks in from work and she offers him a drink. As
she is making it she breaks down again. Steve comments how it is not
like her to be upset, but he puts it down to the pressure she is under.
Kim says that she thrives on pressure and usually she's fine but she
doesn't feel in control at the moment.
Woolpack
Terry is talking to Heather and proposes to go to the house with her in
the morning to see what they can salvage. Jed comes in. Heather
comments how he threw her out when she was pregnant and then when they
all move back in together he burns the house down, she says he's
determined to see her on the streets. Jed makes a heartfelt apology and
they make up.
Primrose Cottage
Kim explains to Steve how everything has become an effort and how she
doesn't want to fight the world anymore. Steve tells her that she is
not on her own and they will get through this together.
Charity Event
Biff has sat in the car waiting for Tara. He sees her come out and gets
out of the car with a dozen red roses. Then he spots Lord Michael with
her. Tara is giggling with him and they are chatting about what a good
evening it was once they found one another. They go over to his car
which he unlocks. She kisses him on the cheek and then gets in. Biff
face falls and he throws the roses in the bin.
That's your lot guys.
