Roy is settling in but Lewis is feeling tetchy.

Elizabeth's worried that Freddie's picking up her wobbles about the inquest. Jill reminds her that she doesn't have to go but Elizabeth doesn't want to look back and regret not being there.

Bert's heard that Elizabeth will be laying people off and she reassures him that it's a rumour. She just won't be taking on so many casuals. Bert's also relieved to know that the allotments aren't under threat. 

Elizabeth's pleased to have Roy for another week. She thanks him for his help but he feels he should be thanking her. The work is really energising him. He thinks the grounds would be a brilliant place for a gig, which would attract a younger crowd. Elizabeth agrees it's something to think about in the future. 

Lewis isn't at his best today and Jill puts him in his place when he shouts at Freddie for being too demanding over what he wants for supper. Lewis goes to talk to Freddie and Freddie lets it out that Nigel had promised he could join his Pudding Club this year. Lewis apologises for snapping earlier. He knows he's being a grumpy old man but explains that they're all just doing their best.

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