The future looks brighter at Keeper's Cottage.

Joe reckons that Alan's Lent camping project is an opportunity for the Grundys. If Alan camped there, it would set a precedent for using the field as a camp site. But Eddie tells him that's moonshine.

Helen tells Ian she's had a card from Annette saying she'd got to her gran's ok and she's making a fuss of her. Ian's shocked when Helen tells him Annette was pregnant and that although Helen wanted her to have the baby, Annette didn't. Ian says he knows how much it hurts when there's a baby involved. He went through it with Madds, but ultimately kids weren't for Adam and him. Helen's sympathetic.

Eddie goes for an interview as a livestock handler at Borchester market. He is hindered at the interview by Joe hanging around and telling the auctioneer about the time Eddie frightened a bull at the county show by revving up his quad bike - although Eddie was the only one who could calm it down...

Later, Eddie pretends to Clarrie that he was unsuccessful because of Joe, but then tells her to crack open the Borsetshire Beauty cider - he got the job! They look forward to good times ahead.

Episode written by Graham Harvey.

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