On our latest podcast, we have a good old natter about the episodes broadcast in the UK between the 4th and the 8th January  (Episodes #10213 - 10218).

This week, Ray's race to raze the place is nearing the finish line, so Abi decides it's time to "be more Deirdre" - and that doesn't mean nipping out into the ginnel for a quick fag while it all blows over. Will her truck top protest get her message across to her neighbours? (And is she even sure what that message should be?) Meanwhile, Arthur breaks Evelyn's heart - and ours! - by bogging off to Canada, Michael makes a big decision about his future with Grace, and Simon's in for a shock when he finds out Leanne's the only one on the street taking the new lockdown measures seriously.

In the Kabin, we talk about this week's reports that a return story for Vicky Jefferies was set to go ahead last summer before falling victim to the pandemic, and we finish things off with some feedback from listeners, including a message that gets us thinking about how much certain characters have changed over time - and whether this kind of thing is intentional or not.
