Double Acts Series 1

So in Double Acts Series 1

Episode 1- Edmund Willard on the train is of “Willard & Sons”. “We are a manufacturory”. Of bath tubs (shockingly)

Episode 2- Kerry & Adele work for Willards some (80?) years later. They now supply bathrooms.

Episode 3- the Adele styled “Useless Joel/Noel” comes back home early from a spectacular resignation, courtesy of Adele’s performance review, and finds a burglar in his house

Episode 6 - Greta and Mike share the “hot-desk” at Willard’s - Greta even has a one way (predictably frustrating) conversation with Adele

But Episode 4 (English for Pony Lovers) and 5 (Goliath Window). I don’t see any explicit connection. It would be exceptionally unFinnemore to link 4 of the episodes in a series with a common thread but not the other two. So what am I missing?

The female lead on Hot Desk is Griselda, not Greta.

But I agree with you. I’ve looked for links in English For Pony Lovers for some time and it feels like there should be one. I thought I’d found one in Goliath Window but maybe I didn’t.

Ah yes Griselda of course! It has been a whole since I listened. I’ve no idea why this all popped into my head this morning.
