Any guesses who George was phoning? And for a bonus point how long will
it be before we find out?

My guess is one of his dodgy uncles, either gt-uncle Alf or one of
uncles Clive or Keith.

I've also seen the suggestion that he'd call Oliver, assuming he could
pull the wool over his eyes as to why this was needed, but that doesn't
seem so likely to me.

Judging by this week's spoilers, it will be at least a few days, quite
possibly a week or three before we find out where George has disappeared to.

I think they are dragging this out and wish they'd finish it. Clear
Alice, get George shown to be a nasty piece of work and have everyone
apologise to Alice.

It sounded, the other day, as if she hasn't got her car back after the
accident, as Brian was giving her a lift because she couldn't drive.

One suggestion that I've seen, that I rather like, is that it was the
woman who bought Bartleby and he's gone to pour his soul out to
Bartleby, who's been his only real confidante throughout all of this.

Nah, he called Kenton for some Merchant Navy contacts and has run away
to sea.

The Bayesian probability of him surviving this are zero.

This has been a Blatant-BTNs_R-Us Production. I thangyew.
