Jim struggles to keep order and Pat tries to offer some reassurance.

Pat wishes Kathy had told her about Kenton and Jolene. Kathy explains that she felt humiliated, and didn't want to upset Pat and Tony when they were so happy with Henry. She tells Pat about the row, and thinks that maybe Jamie is right - she's a bad mother. Pat rubbishes this suggestion, saying that Jamie will soon upset Jolene too. Kathy worries that Jamie's throwing his life away.

Lynda and Neil discuss the nominations for the parish council. So far there's Jill, Lynda, Neil, Audrey, Oliver and possibly Lilian. 

A meeting is held to discuss the arrangements for Gardeners' Question Time. Christine proves to be very helpful and efficient, especially when it comes to booking the hall. The committee discuss potential material for the chairman's introduction about the local area, of which there is plenty. 

After Neil and Lynda depart, Jim asks Christine whether Lower Loxley could be an example of a local horticultural project for the programme to feature. They agree the timing is wrong. Jim also mentions that the producers think Lynda would be good value. He's given them her number, and explained about her low-allergen garden and her interest in feng shui. They can make of it what they will.

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