David鈥檚 evening takes a surprising turn and Eddie is very much in demand
David鈥檚 not looking forward to his meet up with Vince. Ruth tries to allay his worries but David would still like her to ring him after half an hour so he has a reason to leave. David鈥檚 surprised by what he learns about Vince during their chat. The Rolls Royce he drives he actually bought for his dad who kept it immaculate. They both share a household with their mothers 鈥� Vince built a granny annex for his 20 years ago.
Ruth calls David and hears that things are going OK with Vince 鈥� David doesn鈥檛 need rescuing like he thought. David鈥檚 relaxed in the knowledge that Elizabeth and Vince鈥檚 relationship is only a bit of fun. But then Vince makes it clear that he wants to do right by Elizabeth and asks David to help him out if he鈥檚 not on the right track. David half-heartedly agrees.
To Freddie鈥檚 surprise Eddie happily takes Roman鈥檚 place in the Christmas Show. But Eddie gives the reading a go, he鈥檚 not inspired by the words of Milton and isn鈥檛 sure if he can step in after all. Freddie pleads with Eddie, he really needs to show to go right. He reckons Nigel would be embarrassed by the state of things as they are. This gets Eddie thinking about his own dad. Freddie convinces Eddie to tell a tale about Joe instead of the Milton extract in the Christmas Show 鈥� first performance is tomorrow!
