E11 - The Appointment

Tales of Harkshire

Show Notes

Episode Eleven: The Appointment, Our narrator begins with a simple trip to the dentist, only to be met with chaos at reception, an absurd digital sign-in process, and Maxine, who has declared herself gatekeeper of the waiting room. But the real shock comes in the dentist’s chair when she comes face-to-face with...well, you'll just have to tune in! Tune in for:

The perils of digitalisation and spirit animal selections gone wrong. A grim discovery in Jord Moor (and Keith’s highly inappropriate take on it). A health-and-safety-heavy approach to marital relations that could double as a workplace induction.

Between broken bourbons, PPE procedures, and the crushing realisation that passion and spontaneity are things of the past, this episode is a masterclass in British wit, social absurdity, and the eternal disappointment that is Keith. This season of Tales of Harkshire introduces a lifelong resident - and gossip - of the idyllic Kinley Village.

Episode Twenty Four: The BrunchAfter an all-you-can-drink outing with the Good Grief Girls (and Gary), our gossip returns slightly worse for wear - but no less opinionated. From mimosas to mixed-up names, spiritual resentment to dating app disasters, she’s tipsy, tangled, and unfiltered. There’s love, loss, and a woman in a toilet skirt mishap. And beneath it all, a quiet confession: life without Keith isn’t just different - it’s disorienting. Tune in for:

Episode Twenty Three: The Rehearsal As rehearsals begin for The Impotence of Being Earnest: The Musical, our gossip finds herself navigating understudy duties, misfiring choirs, neon undergarments, and a poster typo that's gone far too far. With tensions rising and tempers flaring, she stays ever-ready for her moment in the spotlight - especially if Chip Shop Sue falters under the weight of her pickled onions. Tune in for:

Episode Twenty One: The Donation With Keith’s wardrobe cleared and a generous donation made to the local charity shop, our gossip is feeling rather philanthropic.
