Al begins his adventure

Al starts walking from Letherbridge to Erasmus Darwin's house. He ducks into a pub where he persuades landlady Betty to let him join her quiz. But it isn’t long before he upsets everyone and is escorted off the premises. Furious, he heads round the back and sees Betty choking on a peanut. He saves her life and grins as he records his first video diary update in Betty's spare bedroom.

As a hostel closes its doors on the homeless, we meet Nic, Shaz, Dave, Cam and Tommy. Cam has a job interview today but he has a rash and heads to The Mill to see Jimmi. Insisting his schizophrenia is under control, Cam accepts some cream and heads out. Later, at the interview, we discover Cam lied to Jimmi.

As Cam heads to the woods alone, the others settle in another outdoor spot where Dave tucks a pregnant Shaz into her sleeping bag. Tommy is watching them thoughtfully from a secret vantage point as he makes a phone call. He's with them now and no he hasn’t said anything yet!

Listings Editor at TV Times

I've always had a passion for TV and movies, and got my dream job as TV Times Listings Editor over a decade ago. previously I was interviewing celebrities on a freelance basis for What's On TV, TV Easy and TV & Satellite Week magazines. There's nothing better than going behind-the-scenes of TV shows to bring our readers on set secrets and gossip! As well as my main role at TV Times, I also write Coronation Street spoilers for WhattoWatch.com and write daily On Demand reviews.
