Almost forgot last week's quip from Dev when Deirdre got soaked by a passing car just as she was lighting a ciggie that it was a hitman from the anti-smoking lobby.
And amidst David's trail of destruction some cracking lines tonight:
Norris to Kevin after David had vandalised the car. "What did you do to him - fail his MOT?"
Kevin as Tyrone gave a running commentary "I can do without the running commentary".
Rita marching out of the hairdressers to see what was going on: "And now the whole street knows I'm not a natural red head".
Blanche talking to Rita about "loves a drama ... never happy unless she's got someone else's hands around her throat".
All beautifully balanced with the poignant drama at the heart of which was Gail trying to understand her wayward son.
And best of all Jason's: "It was bound to happen one day. You ought to count you're lucky stars he hasn't got a gun."
