THE TRUEMAN SHOW
Next morning, Bad Brutha is let out of the cells by a pretty boy copper and taken off to be interviewed. TriniDad and Yolande fret that he has been out all night and discuss his constant drinking and general badassedness. Meanwhile Yolande has put Little Orphan Annie's hair into some kind of complicated tentacle do. As they are arguing about him, a bloke delivers a new shiny red BMW that he has bought. All the yokels stand around and admire it.

Byrite is acting like a dick and barely tolerating Sham's presence. Ian delivers a suitcase full o cash to buy the Arches, though fuck knows what he wants with it - could it be the birth of Meal Machine 2: Mealier and Machinier? Byrite ponces around with Quentin for a bit and then they drive off to that quarry that they always used in Dr Who and Blakes 7 etc. They are expecting to meet a drugs Mr Big but instead the Mr big has sent his minionator (German goalie Oliver Kahn) to check him out instead. After the meeting, Byrite goes to a jewellery shop and gets some earrings for Sham with a fake-time-stamped receipt as an alibi for the drug deal - will the magic receipt make you appear on video cameras too, cretin, because most jewellery shops have those?

When O-Den finds out that Ian has bought the Arches, he teases Sham about buying the Vic off her. she laughs it off but then, doh! Marcus appears and says she has to sell the Vic today or else Fill is in big trouble or whatever. Sham snivels a bit and then says that, yes, she is a Mitchell and that she will do all her can to help her tuber-headed brother.

Denman lies to avoid going for a drink with O-Den, runs off to Shazza in the club and snogs her so hard that she drops all her xmas doilies on the floor. They talk about running away together, running away forever but then O-Den shows up so they are stuck with winking and waggling their ears at each other to communicate instead.

Bad Brutha is interviewed off the record by two drugs squad detectives (one of whom is dead familiar frorm the Bill or Casualty or something). They mock his pitiful tale of just holding for personal use and show him pictures of him talking to Byrite and Mr Big Drugs. They tell him he will spend 4 - 6 inside if he is convicted. BB looks tortured and sad etc - it goes on for ages but not much actually happens, except they remind us of his tragic "being convicted for a crime he didn't commit" shenanigans. BB has a crapulous phone the same as mine - I thought drug dealers all had snazzy phones. In the end they say it will be better for him if he helps them catch Byrite doing a big drug deal. BB says he will help them and become a GRASS.
