Imran can’t have had a more eventful week since his parents tried to kidnap his sister. First, he has his poker in two Battersby fires, then it’s his big pre-trial hearing, and finally Tim would like to him to have a word with Fist One and Fist Two. Elsewhere, Liz is falling further under the spell of Hannah and Jim’s lies, Peter gets his knickers in a knot about Simon’s bag being launched over a bridge, Steve draws the line at Mary’s armpit, and Ken disappears up his own nipsy. Oh, and there’s a pub quiz. Everyone loves a pub quiz. Feedback and comments welcome at thetalkofthestreet@gmail.com on the email, @corriepodcast on the Twitter and Facebook and there’s a blog, don’tcha know, thetalkofthestreetpodcast.wordpress.com. A review or rating on iTunes wouldn’t go amiss neither.
