proved it.
4. That Amanda has a daughter. Oh, no: not more Vale
genes.

drama.
4. Emma Rigby (who plays Hannah Ashworth). Let’s hope

hair clips.
3. Raymond Quinn (18!), who played Anthony Murray.
Blimey. Doesn’t time fly.

is a mystery.

in sight.

spell it for the flyers.
3. The bathroom. And Jimmy wasn’t there to wash his
hands.
4. A car wash. Hmm. With barely more than two cars on
the road every month?
5. Two hours once a month. The boy will be grateful

3. The cricket pavilion, of course! When on earth is
someone going to put a lock on that door?

don’t remember him either.

ANSWERS
1. Plumbing. You can never find one when you want one
– fathers or plumbers, come to that.
2. £200. Blimey. I’d stick with Oddbins.
3. A house. In that village, they will doubtless
soon be sharing it with 15 others.
4. 21006 – apparently meaning “The Chosen One”. Just
an excuse to show us her long bare leg, as far as I
could see.
5. The Wheels of the Bus Go Round and Round.
Personally, I’d have preferred the screaming kid.

to prevent Amanda inheriting his fortune?
5. Why does Coronation Street’s David reckon he is
playing truant?
ANSWERS
1. Greece. Quelle surprise. Peas in a pod they ain’t.
2. Swedish meatballs. Living with a man like that, a
girl has to find some way to keep herself occupied.
3. Her croissants. No one would want to touch anything
made by hands that had been near that hairdo.
4. Three months from the day of the marriage. It was a
miracle the man lasted three hours.
5. He reckons he is being bullied. Nothing different
from his home life, then.

5. Which Hollyoaks actor is recovering from a shock he

ANSWERS
1. To improve her French. Hopefully she means the
language rather than her kissing technique.
2. National flag of Trinidad and Tobago. Are they in
with a chance? Don’t bring out the bunting just yet.
3. She was pregnant. Sadly for Viv and the café,
nowhere near enough babies for a pie.
4. That Bree is not their biological daughter. Not all
bad news, then.
5. Chris Fountain, who plays Justin Burton - as if the

enough.

2. £25,000. Not in a million years will I believe she planned to ditch the gorgeous Grant in his vest.
3. Mushrooms. Yeah, right. Not mush room for anything else in the tent, as he was having his way with her.
4. Breach of position of trust. As opposed to failing to teach anyone else anything all year?
5. Cheese and pickle, and ham. Not mincemeat, then - Danny’s nickname for him at the factory.

3. 21st. Both 21, going on 10.
4. Coronation Street’s Richard Fleeshman (Craig). Is it me, or are the voters getting younger?

5. On how many counts of theft did Coronation Street’s Kelly plead guilty this week?
ANSWERS
1. Mincemeat. Make of it what you will.
2. Barnstaple. Interesting. Managing that pushchair was proving chore enough.
3. £2.70. If you know that, you deserve all the scones you can stuff.
4. The brilliant Sian Reeves. She’ll be better than anything they have on their rotten menu.
5.Five. Alas, none of them relating to stealing someone else’s appointment at the hairdresser’s.

4. Who has just received a positive pregnancy test in Home And Away?
5. Which soap won the award for best Continuing Drama at the Baftas this month?
ANSWERS
1. A Get Well Soon card for David. No chance of mental or physical wellness for Psycho Boy.
2. Seven Nights With Judith And Jane. Beats seven nights
with Pat and Pauline.
3. Navicular disease. Strangely, this made her even more attracted to the vet.
4. Leah. It’s pretty much the only positive thing she’s ever had in her life.
5. EastEnders. Does anyone on the Bafta jury actually have ITV on their
sets?

ANSWERS
1. Hear’Say. Here today, gone tomorrow.
2. Sonia. As if she hadn’t had enough surprises for
one year.
3. Grand-daughter Evelyn. Maybe that will be
sufficient incentive for her to buy a new hat at last.
4. Liquid mercury. I can’t help feeling that rat
poison would have been easier.
5. Evissa – where staff outnumber clients by at least
three to one.

2. Organic goat’s milk. What a development! Hold the
front page!
3. Thankfully, not a trip to Lauren’s new hairdresser,
but a candlelit dinner.
4. Manic Monday. Pretty much like every other day, to
be honest.

his own age?

road map for Manchester.
2. Peggy, Yolande and Ben. Expect massive food
poisoning outbreak from Ian’s catering.
3. Katie’s father. Yet another job for Hotten’s
overworked florist.
4. Alas, not a packet of common sense, but a bracelet.
5. Dead Chloe. Why not. Everyone else seems to be
there.

spring to mind.
3. A spade. It’ll need more than that to dig her out
of the mess she’s in.
4. She told him she was doing a thesis on inedpendent
mayors. Oh, yes, and paraded her breasts.
5. A poem. Let’s hope he included the rhyme “red
mac/load of cack”.

1. Melrose. If she could have got her into Alcatraz,
she would have.
2. Rugby. Let’s hope that with his diminutive form,
glasses and hearing aid, he’s only the mascot.
3. Vertigo. Not to worry. Apart from Turner’s place,
nobody else seems to have any stairs.
4. Pressure from Michaela. Why can’t anyone ever
manage to do it in a bed in Hollyoaks?
5. IVF. Oh, please, please don’t tell me that we are
going to be subjected to mini Leahs.

this week?

Billy as a fiancé.
3. Country Pursuits weekends. Complimentary murder at
the hands of Steph included?
4. St David, on March 1st. Getting anything Welsh on
TV these days is an achievement.
5.To talk about the dangers of sunbathing. Yet

pupils.

3. Why was Emmerdale’s Dawn furious with her mother?

2. Paphos. And Carly chose Weatherfield instead? Get
thee to a shrink.
3. She slept with her ex, Terry. Why not. Any port in
a storm.
4. In a car crash. You see? Even when they leave the
accident-prone Square, they still don’t manage to
learn road safety.

mortality rate at Jack’s farm beats even the local
abbatoir.

worse than what she’s used to in the Dingle household.
4. Peregrine or Peregrina. Bet you there will be
people registering those before the end of the week.
5. Sally’s incessant wittering? No, some grapes.

way upwards of Ian Beale.
3. Lucas and Matilda. So many plays in the Bay, and
alas, too few acting lessons.
4. £20,000. Alan’s hoping to use the B & B as
collateral. That’s a tenner covered, then.
5. Chinese New Year. Pity Mel couldn’t keep the sake
down.

axe: it’s a chainsaw massacre.
2. Architecture. Let’s hope he can draw up plans to
build himself a better personality.
3. Richard Shelton (who plays Dr Adam Forsythe). At
last, someone who has the ability to drown out Steph.
4. A kangaroo. Easy mistake to make, if you ask me.
5. Richard Fleeshman (who plays Craig Harris). Great
result, shame about the show.

ANSWERS

permanently hidden under that hairdo?
3. £50,000. And where, pray, did the dolt from the
Dales get that sort of money?
4. Grace Antonia Helen Hutchinson. Makes a change from
Yet Another Large Breasted Blonde Hollyoaks Babe.

. Who was outed at New Year in Emmerdale?
ANSWERS
1. Eccles. One dog amid so many in that place, though.

3. "Stop her. Blood. Breathe. Cleanse." If you know that answer, you're as sick as he is.
4. Morag. She has to. It seems she's the only solicitor in Australia.

3. A bike. Alas, not one big enough to wheel Shadrach out of town.
4. Dubai. Sadly, it wasn't true.

3. Murdering his (Ashley's) mother. Presumably neither man can spell euthanasia.
4. Dressing as an elf. At least it got him out of that wretched black leather jacket.

3. King's River Development. Another dead duck in the water, if the holiday village was anything to go by.
4. St Andrew's Day. More hot air in the place, this time from the hideous bagpipes.
