Kate lays her cards on the table. Meanwhile there are celebrations at April Cottage.

Hayley and Kathy meet outside the village shop. Kathy's cooking dinner for Pat and Tony to celebrate the end of Jamie's GCSEs, while Hayley's organising Phoebe's birthday disco with Vicky.

Enjoying a drink in the garden, Pat and Tony ask about Jamie. Kathy explains that he missed his RS exam because he was upset about Sid's birthday. Kathy was disappointed, but the fact that she and Jamie talked about Sid together marks a real improvement in their relationship. Later, Kathy brings up the book club selection. Pat suspects that it is based on the lives of local people.

Kate and Roy meet to discuss the school Phoebe would attend in South Africa, and Kate enthuses about the high standard of education on offer. Roy's worried that Phoebe won't fit in and will suffer academically. Kate attempts to convince him that the opposite would be true, and that Phoebe really wants to make the year work. 

Roy returns home to Hayley, who's angry to see that Kate has begun to talk him round. Hayley believes it's best for Phoebe to remain with them, but Roy asserts that it's ultimately Phoebe's choice.

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