BBC - Asian Network - Silver Street Synopsis

Friday 25th July 2008 Ep 1090

Have your say

Roopa books into a hotel, she’s not sleeping in the van with the band. First Roopa is determined that they’re not staying with her but Aidan uses his powers of persuasion and they say they won’t snore, they’ll squeeze in on the floor. Roopa has another condition, she doesn’t want them smoking weed either.

In the hotel room, Steve wants to get the mini bar open but Roopa threatens him with sending him back to the van. Aidan says he’ll pay but Roopa is irate, rock ‘n’ roll means acting like morons on their parents tab then? She’s had enough and walks out, Aidan wonders when she turned into such a diva!

Roopa bumps into Cat at the bar, she’s annoyed, she feels like their babysitter. Aidan was a laugh, dangerous and he took risks when she met him, now he’s just like the others, an insecure whinger. Cat thinks she needs to stick up for herself and her that she is good. Roopa thought it’d be fun but it’s a hard slog and maybe she should head home. Cat offers her a lift as far as Nottingham but Roopa wants to attend the lead act’s party first!

As the band head back to their van, they whinge all the way about the breakfast at the hotel, Roopa is annoyed she didn’t sleep well again because they were snoring. Steve opens the van and is livid, their equipment has been stolen, he knew they should have slept in the van. Roopa wishes they had too! Aidan tells her if she hadn’t have booked the room, they would have been in the van overnight. Roopa flips, they treat her like their scapegoat and she’s not going anywhere with them to look for the gear. She’s heading home and if they want a singer, she’s in but she’s not being treated like this, it’s up to them, besides they’d be rubbish without her anyway.

Roopa jumps into Cat’s van and she knows she can handle the hassle at home as she knows what she wants now.
