I wonder if Brian will discover his "cousin" is from Uxbridge, or Peckham? I remember, Rita and Audry's friend: Fred Elliot, had an exotic Asian female "pen pal" -- he almost married; actually she was from Brixton, or somewhere close-- not Thailand or the exotic place he thought!!, and was a market stall seller, who was getting money from him "to bring her family members" to Greater Weatherfield.
This is hardly classic Rita, seems a bit desperate and cringey to me. Poor Barbara. To paraphrase (if that’s the right term) Audrey, the trouble is we get older and they (the writers) treat us like spare parts. 🙄
