On a weekday? Where does she get off? Has she or any of her family ever attended church? Here in Canada babies are christened during regular Sunday Church services usually 5 or 6 at a time.

Mondays double episodes were brilliantly written; witty, well paced and well mixed between humour and drama. Fridays lacked hunour and were far fetched.
