The RT Review by David Crawford says:

Leonard (Paul Copley) is knocked sideways by some emotional news and all
does not go well when he faces a difficult day with the Brookfield
family standing by his side.

Harrison has to fight to keep his emotions in check when he faces a
challenging callout, but then receives a surprising offer from his superior.

Lily takes matters into her own hands when Brad tells her he’s
struggling, Jolene makes a rash decision at the Bull, and Khalil’s mouth
runs away with him.

We seem to have a new writer in Shaun McKenna.

I have a feeling we know who Scarlett is - but I have forgotten - can
someone remind me please?

Is that a new writer?

Yes sorry - I saw that after my fingers had written and sent my
nonsense. However his absolute twaddle on Friday when Harrison was
trying to explain a secret secondment for which there was no money was
desperately poor and I can only assume that no-one else actually wanted
to write something which made sense.

All the nonsense about video calls and only making calls from time to
time - it really made no sense whatsoever and if he wants to be a police
office or not is not going to be resolved by plonking him in Yorkshire
where his accent will stick out like a sore thumb and subject him to
ridicule every time he speaks as being an outsider.

Whoever storylined that needs to be taken out and shot - no-one could
have written a good scene for it.

Well why not after all it is the 21st century. Men should be on Mars
equipped with ray guns, there should be flying cars everywhere and
someone might even have invented a video phone.

Maybe Fallon would like a baby after all if it is with Ed. She was in
love with him and if he breaks up with emma over George maybe Ed and
Fallon can get together. Maybe Emma can go back to Will. Harrison can
stay in Yorkshire. Or come back and get together with Kirsty. Or Pip?

I think that the potential father would not change her aversion to a
baby. I agree that she will get very / too close to Ed at some point.

Fallon can get together. Maybe Emma can go back to Will.

I suggest that Ed will think Emma is getting close to Will and Ed will
find a shoulder to cry on and all hell will break loose.

I think Harrison is gone.

Or Pip?

Apparently she is stuck with Stella - but because she is an Archer they
are not allowed to let her near a microphone.

I'm having great difficulty sourcing a Jet-pack. They must be available
somewhere.

I might find a jet-pack, but I bet asbestos trousers are not for sale
anywhere - and I wouldn't want to use one without the other.

Well, I live in Yorkshire and my accent sticks out like a sore thumb
but nobody subjects me to ridicule about it - not to my face, anyway.

I only hope we are not going to be reprising the "Spycops" scandal and
that Harrison doesn't return to Ambridge with seven kids and three
wives.

We seem to have a new writer in Shaun McKenna.

And adding to my earlier note the nonsense about Leonard all week was
not worth the airtime.

Plus I assume the original plan involved Jill being allowed a word or
two on the subject so I have to wonder if she was unable to participate
at a very late moment, which led to some re-writes to fit.

I don't think we'd met Scarlett before, but Beatrice White is Susie
Riddell's daughter and played the young Laura, in Ambridge's version of
Larkrise to Candleford.
