[Scrotnig]

The episode I’ve been looking forward to was up this week. Now referred to as “You Sod!”, it’s the one where Heather chucks Roger out.

Seared into my memory as a 12 year old on first airing, I even had an audio recording of the climactic scene on a cassette back in the day (taken from the omnibus having seen it in the week). Even having never seen it since then, I correctly remembered every line of that scene. And it still holds up today. Great performance from both actors but especially Amanda Burton who clearly put heart and soul into that!

I can watch that scene over and over again. It’s never been bettered in a soap in my view. And the slow build up to it over many months made it all the more powerful.

Brilliant stuff.
