Chris and Alice enjoy some domestic bliss.

Chris and Alice enjoy some domestic bliss, and the game is up for Lilian.

Jennifer's impressed at how Alice and Christopher have made themselves at home in the cottage, and delights them with the news that the guests won't arrive till Sunday. They've had a fabulous time, and Alice comes up with a plan which she thinks will enable her and Chris to stay even longer.

Lilian meets up with Paul, who's been quoting on a local renovation job. If he gets it, he could be back again soon.  Jennifer appears, and accepts Paul's invitation to join them. As Paul gets her a drink, Jennifer asks what's going on. Lilian agrees to tell her later.

Lilian tells Jennifer all there is to tell. Jennifer's concerned but Lilian insists she's simply keeping the door open in case Matt feels differently about meeting Paul when he's released. Jennifer knows Matt's not going to change his mind. Lilian's playing a risky game and Jennifer questions whether she's only seeing Paul for Matt's sake.

Pip wishes she was going on holiday with Jude. Jude tells her he feels the same way. As they say goodbye, Pip apologises for getting upset. He reminds her it's only for a week but for Pip it's going to be the longest week of her life.

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