To prevent the Emmerdale review from becoming Kim Tate reveiw (the most hated character in English television), this week Rob runs us down on the Sharma family's chocolate factory fiasco, scream-ups at the pub, and just a little bit of KT news.
In this edition of Emmerdale, Rob fills us in on the chaos being caused in the wake of Kim Tate's return to the village and the return of Joe (from the dead!).
In this edition of the Emmerdale review we talk maternal kidnapping, breaking the Dingle code, and the return from prison of the most hated character in UK television.
In this edition of the critically acclaimed Emmerdale review Rob describes an exciting road trip in which multiple characters end up in the beautiful city of Belfast, birthplace of the Titanic. In Belfast, Marlon and Paddy confront Paddy's father Bear-Wolf in a pub, before moving into a having a really great chat about pies.
In this episode of the highly acclaimed Emmerdale review, Mr. Rob Bollox fills us in on the outcome of Paddy's DNA test and some agricultural misadventures featuring hangovers and farmyard machinary
In this edition of the Emmerdale Review Mr Bollox fills us in on the attempted frame-up of Kane Dingle by "the scariest man I've seen on television". Kris and "Rootin' Tootin' Pollard" also have a bit of fun with the Emmerdale Wild West name generator.
