The only way that teaser would have worked would be if we'd seen a number of altercations between characters with several of them leaving the bar - then the bomb went off, and we'd be left wondering if the characters we'd seen had been caught in the blast, i.e. who survives, who dies, etc. That would have been dramatic (if unoriginal).

What we saw instead was some banter between Garland and Emma, her torn between two admirers, KT singing happy birthday as a (cardboard-looking) cake was wheeled out - and then there was a big hole in a wall. So what?

All this only confirms my suspicions that the idea to create a teaser out of a scene in the final episode came well after the series had been filmed …
I didn't analyse it in quite such detail - it worked fine for me.

Kara Tointon has confirmed that it was indeed her arse and nobody else's.

Even more than that, apart from Kara and the American I wouldn't even be able to tell you which of the main characters were in the scene, since as we'd not been introduced to anybody yet, I'd no idea who was who.

Wow,
Charity bet bonked again (CTTE), then KT decides to bath in the Lords bath then stand up naked, so do we assume she "Knew" him!!. BTW she is a singer as she sung in TSOM last year.
We assume no such thing! I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that despite all the tarty bravado she's actually rather inexperienced in that department. The Sound of Music was actually a reprise. Her first professional engagement was in the stage show tour way back in 1994.

It's not difficult. All of them (apart from the deceased Lord, of course).
