More evil Coppers...

We discover that the Evil Copper from a While Back is called Doug Slade. Mr P would like to point out that Slade is a name commonly used for villains in movies, and that he and his wife are in no way connected with any movie Slades, bad or otherwise. Anyway, Mrs P would like to note that the presence of a Bad Slade would put the entire family in danger of being Interesting - which can't possibly happen, oh no.

A propos of nothing, the gloriously camp, eccentric detective in The Ars*n*l Stadium Mystery is called Inspector Slade. We like him.

Well, we were jetlagged and knackered, but La Famille Moon decide to do a runner, especially after Babs gets all soppy about Fool's innate ability to "make people happy". Ethel 2.0 shows a glimmer of sanity and Backstreet puts in a decent acting job. Even Fucking Shane Ritchie turns in a good performance. What is going on? I might actually miss the fuckers? So anyway, under the Cloud of Evil DC Slade (bwahahaha), the Moons do a flit, with or without the pub takings - we don't know.

Nat takes a moby phonecall from Rickay, and calls him "Sarah". Que? Oh, Baz is listening, and nobody takes Nat to task for having a moby on the breakfast table. Tsk! Pat goes over to Rickay's workplace, gives him a slap and tells him that he is no longer welcome chez Fat. She then tells Nat to dump him because Baz might be a fat git, but he's a Good Man Who Loves Her, and Those Butcher Eyes are dangerous. Nat is sad.

Martin goes around trying to find character witnesses (is he mad?). Only TriniDad, a well known moonshiner and drug dealer, will give him the time of day. Well done Martin. Poline discovers that Little Vicky has run away from 'Shell's place. Could we see the Return of 'Shell in search of her lost daughter?

Fill is shocked to discover that not all women drop their knickers at the sight of a pair of airline tickets to Florence (bet he didn't get them off Ryanair either). Undercover Kayet apologises with a video of La Traviata and a pizza, and the exhortation to "go slow". Stockholm syndrome a gogo! (or whatever the equivalent is when undercover cops fall in love with their quarry).

So, where's Slutty, and what's all this between Backstreet and Kellay, and has she moved in Chez Slater or what?
