Strange audio description in last nights episodes. Much of it was spent describing how the characters looked rather than the normal thing of just describing what they were doing.

"Fat Jerry runs out of the house"
"Blue eyed Mel lookes worried"
"Tubby Lloyd and middle-aged John are standing near a taxi"

It might not have been John. Who was talking to Lloyd while standing near a taxi in one of Monday's epsiodes?

Oh, Sinbad wasn't killed off then. Having only followed the show lately by not actually watching it I'd assumed by the posts here he was a goner.

The Police station used for going into the ad break is actually the old GMP Traffic Cops police station at Castle Street in Bolton 9less than 2 minutes away from the late Fred Dibnah's house!!!). It closed about 3 years ago - although it has been used quite numerous of times by TV companies.

Laughing Well spotted! Maybe the clipboard has fertilising properties-- perhaps Hayley touched it as well!
