After a long break the BBC has decided to cover (rather than just report) what Bert Horrobin is doing and saying this.

He appears to be one of the few Ambridge residents with a beard but more importantly he is a working class character. Like most such people in Ambridge the BBC is condescending to him. He is a rascal, always doing something doubtful, just like Eddie Grundy. He has not however ever been found guilty of polluting the Am or covering up who attacked George. The person who has done that is of course a man of honour

Proletarian Thought of the Week
