George mithers to Will about not having enough to do, apart from cooking and housework, before Amber arrives, clearly unimpressed he’s not made any progress getting a job. George admits to Will he’s worried that he’s not living up to Amber’s expectations. Amber thinks George should be braving things at the Village Shop, showing people he’s not ashamed. George wants paid work though, outside Ambridge, so he can make a fresh start and provide for her. Will can see how flat George really is, when he’s not putting on a brave face for Amber. George admits he’s finding life even harder than expected, with no money, car or job, plus having to sponge off Amber. If things don’t change George reckons she’ll leave him. Will tries reassuring George and offers to lend him five hundred pounds, to be repaid when George gets a job. George is touched, vowing to use the money to show Amber how much he loves her.
