When Neighbour's Go Bad

In the storyline of the decade mild mannered, tuba playing, Samaritan Harold Bishop has been pushed over the line and gone all psycho and the victim of his wrath is none other than the formerly evil Paul Robinson. Lets face it people poor Harold hasn't had the best time of it over the years, he's recently lost his son and his family in a plane crash, his wife (the legendary Madge) died about five years ago, his daughter Kerry was killed on a duck hunt protest and Harold himself 'died' but was then found with a complete loss of memory years later. It's enough to drive anyone over the edge to be fair, but the bloke finally cracked last week and attempted to strangle Paul Robinson...somehow (a powercut caused me to miss the next episode) he managed to get away with that and poor old Paul has been suffering panic attacks ever since. Then this evening Harold turned all psycho again, knocking on windows and rattling blinds until Paul had some kind of seizure through fear. Harold chose his moment and pulled out the phone cord, hovering over the stricken man looking all threatening (I know it's hard to imagine Harold looking threatening....but if you squint it is possible) when.....to be continued.....
