Well June could potentially return.If it was a television soap it would be more likely but in radio you can use far more poetic license.Providing she is compus mentus June could easily add some dialogue in the comfort of her own home and an audio file be recorded and sent to the studios.This I believe happened during Covid but in the event it wouldn't be possible Peggy could still leave an audio message to be read out at the funeral which would explain the references to the characters frailty.Wonder whether Tamsin Greig will record something for Debbie also for the funeral episode.

My wobble board disliked this

No they are just trolling the sweaty pizza munching nonce .Surprised the telegraph was the one publishing this of all publications.

I don't get much time to listen at all now but the episodes were really good.

I only listened again due to Jennifer's death but they have done a great job.

She I think from the episodes I listened to earlier was living on her own but after hearing the news was persuaded to stay with Tony and Pat.Tony and Lilian alluded to her suddenly looking very frail after Jennifer's death.

Just listened to the episodes dealing with Jennifer's death.Very moving and some exceptional acting from Charles Collingwood.I wonder if they will kill Peggy off too as her frailty was referenced saying she looked really frail and appeared to have shrunk mentally and physically after hearing the news.Maybe they will do a Debbie Reynolds.

https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/fresh-blow-christy-dignam-aslan-29057397.amp Christy Dignam's nephew Christopher has died earlier this week in hospital from a suspected heart attack aged just 27.

We need to go on a field trip there one one of these days.

Has a punishing schedule next week. Looks almost unachievable to me but we shall see.

That would help.

Is Peggy still living with Christine or are they both in the Laurels now?I know Christine was for a while but then moved in with Peggy. I doubt June Spencer or Lesley Seaward will return but you never know.If not they would just say Peggy is ill in hospital I imagine .

That is what I was saying.It wasn't necessary but if she had become ill to the point she could not function either mentally or her physical health was so poor she was bedbound or unable to do anything at all (eg stroke, paralysis or something severe enough that she was alive buy unable to function at a basic physical level ) then she would have had to. Fortunately it never came to that and she was able to carry on as best she could until virtually the end.

I'm sure she wouldn't have been surprised.She had enough experience to suss out Prime Ministers. I think the Queen had her final decline not been so swift would have had appointed Charles regent but would I think have wanted to resist doing so which she did manage to do.If she had been bedbound unable to hold telephone conversations and read and sign papers she qould have had to.

Can I also clarify that the Simon Cowell I picked was the guy off Wildlife SOS and not the X Factor judge (I did state this in my entry via dm).

Can I have Carolyn Bryant Donham as my third sub?

Ah cheers.Apologies been really busy so am missing posts here and there.

Anyone else lost the Scoreboard when they go in the site?

Fitting that Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson are next to each other in the Drop 40.

No

Slightly surprised about Zeman as he is quite ill but I dropped him and I guess many others did too.I thought the fact there were so many Drop 40 hits last year would have kept him up there albeit still near the bottom.Maxwell is not a surprise drop at all.Yes she might kill herself or get bumped off but otherwise healthy and young so a risky pick with many better options to choose from.

Technically unique picks as they have a 1 point advantage but it all depends on the age of your pick and also in Drop 40 terms how many of your nearby competitors have them in terms of where it then places you on the leaderboard.

Matt Hancock`s unwashed cock has to be the best new name of the year!
