Kenton hits the town in the name of 'research'.

Helen's planning a healthy eating promotion for Ambridge Organics, and assures Pat it's not just a distraction to take her mind off Leon. 

Susan tells Helen that Annette's not been on top form, Helen's concerned, and tries to interest Annette in her new healthy recipes but Annette's struggling to show any enthusiasm. She has a moment's panic when Helen light-heartedly suggests there must be a mystery man in her life. Annette insists there's not, then quickly escapes to her room.
 
Susan has seen Pat's notices for next week's meeting, to choose the 'Save The Shop' committee. She calls in on Pat to talk about the kind of people they need. Susan thinks they've already got a good steering committee and doesn't think busy professionals will want to give up their time. But she's interrupted when Kathy arrives. 

Having tried unsuccessfully to entice Kenton with a cosy night in, Kathy moans to Pat that he's off out with Jim - again!  Pat sympathises with Kathy's situation. If it's this bad now, Kathy wonders - only half-joking - what it's going to be like when Kenton's new bar is up and running. She may never get to see him at all.

Episode written by Simon Frith.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
