Jamie's private life becomes public knowledge.

Jamie's private life becomes public knowledge and Roy questions some business decisions.

Elizabeth's confident that Roy will do a fabulous job in running Lower Loxley during her days off. She'll talk to him about English Wine Week when she's back. She wants it to be a huge success, for Nigel's sake. The falconry was a big favourite of his too, but it's just not paying its way and something has to go.

Roy tells Hayley that he's been looking at the falconry figures. Although Elizabeth seems to have made up her mind, he's going to do more research. 

Peggy invites Jill round to show her the brooch she's made. Jill's pleased that Peggy is able to enjoy Ted's company, and Peggy feels confident that Jack would understand. Ted has said that Jill would be welcome to join them next time, so Peggy encourages Jill to come along on Friday.

As Jamie and new girlfriend Natalie discuss their latest exam, they bump into Kathy. Jamie introduces Natalie and she and Kathy chat away. Jamie interrupts and drags Natalie away for a coffee. Later, Jamie is uncomfortable with Kathy asking him about Natalie. She changes the subject and suggests that he doesn't work any more shifts at The Bull until after exams. To Kathy's relief, Jamie agrees to talk to Jolene.

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