Helen makes a new friend who bumps into her (literally) at the Cheese Shop Cafe. Turns out they have a mutual acquaintance in Rene, the young Scot who rescued Helen's cheese in a previous episode (#14). Meanwhile Charlie, Susie's friend from uni, has retired his Polish alter ego Piotr. About time too!
Scots actress Morag Stark joins the TMT ensemble to play the role of Auntie Jean. Christopher McDougall reprises his double act of Rene and Charlie. You can support our team by donating the price of a cup of coffee at buymeacoffee.com/AmIOldYet, or by becoming a Patron at Patreon.com.
