Must be funny in a rich man's world. Doesn't look like anyone round Walford way's going to be getting much first hand experience of that any time soon... unless they're in cahoots with Archie Mitchell.
Bankrupt Brannings
Spare a thought for poor Max and Abi who had to get by on nothing but cous cous, pesto and kidney beans this week. That'll teach Tanya for having such bourgeois taste in food. If Shirley walked out, Heather and George would have enough tinned pies to live on for a fortnight. Abi was compelled to hand over her savings to pay her Dad's debts and gave away her cat to save money on pet food/vets bills. If Santa were to pop down the chimney she'd have his boots pawned before his belly'd squeezed through the flue.
Cash-strapped Masoods
Mas finally broke it to Zainab that his £80-a-week sickness benefit wouldn't cover her plans to pave the Square with onyx for Syed's wedding. She took it surprisingly well and started shaving zeros off her wedding budget. However, after sizing up Mas's torso she was later overheard consulting Mo about how much human organs fetch on the black market. Lucky that Amira came up with her Dad's cash or else Mas might have woken up with an abdominal scar that hadn't been there the night before...
Mitchells on the make
Blackmailed Beale
* If it fell into ours, we'd release it and pitch it against Joe McElderry/Rage Against The Machine for Christmas number 1
