Fran the Kiss-A-Scam Strikes Again...bow-chika-bow-waw
This week on the Antique's Roadshow, we'll be in Shieldinch where our guest expert Gabriel Brodie will be showing you how to restore an antique chair. Just kidding, no River City hasn't turned into an antique's show but we did see a lot of wood glue action. Gabriel accidentally pulled the arm off the antique chair Leyla bought Michael as a Christmas present which resulted in some very amusing chair related antics! Gabe even enlisted the help of Liz, who although she protested, really enjoyed all the clandestine activities! I particularly loved it when she attempted to stop Leyla seeing the absolutely HUGE chair by standing in front of it- very, very funny! However, after Leyla found out and shouted at him, Gabe realised that he had a very funny, fuzzy feeling inside - could he be falling for his brother's wife? Well, from the looks of the pictures in the press this week here and here, the answer is YES! I know it's wrong, but I love a bit of festive adultery!
Nicole and Stevie were extremely hormonal teenagers this week! Nicole decided that she was ready to lose her virginity but they just couldn't find any time alone so they settled on the romantic setting of the Health Centre for their 'first time'. Personally, I've always found doctor's surgeries very sexy: stethoscopes, syringes, sick bags and all those posters about incontinence. Unfortunately, Nicole didn't feel the same and told Stevie that she'd changed her mind, she wants her first time to special and romantic. Lovely Stevie told her that he was quite prepared to wait and didn't want to put any pressure on her - aaaw.
Next week, is Christmas Day in Shieldinch so make you tune in to see that kiss between Leyla and Gabriel and watch the fireworks at the Mullen's house when Grandpa Lenny pops round for Christmas dinner! Ooooh , I can't wait! And remember, if you miss it on Tuesday, this week's repeat will be on Christmas Eve - Saturday 24th December at 12.30pm on BBC One.

Speaking of Leyla, is she the most easily offended and agitated person on the planet? Last week she went into meltdown because she couldn't work out what to get the kids for Christmas while this week she had a sort of loss of innocence moment because she'd been lied to (by "everyone") about...wait for it.... the precise delivery time of a scabby old - sorry, vintage - chair! That's right, an old chair. Listen, I got angry when I was lied to about the Iraq war and I still get mad when I'm regularly lied to by my set of bathroom scales, but a knackered chair not arriving when you thought it did? Give me a break.
When I was young back in the last century, one of my favourite TV programmes was Mr Benn. In it, a little shopkeeper appeared out of nowhere during the show at important times just like Shieldinch's finest boy in stonewash denim blue, DI Donald, or do I get to call him "Craig"? Mind you, Mr Benn didn't have to sleep with Lennie Murdoch or go wired up to an exciting dinner adventure with a gangster and a couple of Estonian thugs. Don't think so anyway.
And I do love Frances's mum, the Ma Baker of Shieldinch.
Ah, the course of true love ne'er did run smooth and that was certainly the case for Shieldinch's own star-cross'd lovers, Nicole and Stevie especially when it came to looking for a suitable location for that thing they were planning.
I think Stevie missed a trick though because doesn't he now have the keys for Gabriel's old van? You're not telling me Gabriel didn't use his wheels on a regular basis for romantic adventures as well as supplying stock to his failed shop of tat? So it could have been ideal location for Stevie and Nicole, and who knows, they might have found some of Gabe's old stock lying around that might have come in useful during their evening of passion such as torches, batteries, or a old rubber ring?
