Synopsis

Episode image for 24/12/2010

"Bob's Granny Surprise" - In today's episode Bob's going great guns with an internet bride until her grandmother makes an appearance! The second part of our series on the adaptation of "Delete This At Your Peril - the Bob Servant E-mails" by Neil Forsyth.

Plus the West Coast Main Line is the country's busiest long distance railway and passengers are fed up with the overcrowded carriages. So why could a brand new pendolino sit in storage for twelve months? We'll find out.

And, most of us will have bought at least one cook book as a Christmas present - but can you get better recipes, for free, online?

Peter with David Rathband
