Roy receives a job offer. Meanwhile David and Ruth ponder the future.

Concerned that they're not seeing a better return for all their hard work, Ruth thinks they ought to go for a direct supply contract. Pip agrees. David has heard that it's not as straightforward as it might seem and that it's getting tougher but Ruth still thinks it's the way forward. They discuss the state of the paddocks and agree to have a go at making their pastures drought resistant.

Clarrie pops round to see how the wedding plans are going. Will's just off to ask Roy to be his best man, but worries whether it's fair on Nic to have the same best man as his wedding to Emma. Clarrie reckons if Nic's not said anything, it must be ok. Clarrie offers to make the wedding cake and is touched when Nic asks if she'll go with her to Felpersham to look at wedding dresses.

Roy's more than happy to be Will's best man again. Over a pint, he assures him he won't tell the same jokes as last time. Will's not pleased to see Clive Horrobin in the pub but Roy reckons he's entitled to a second chance and thinks he'll probably be on his way after the funeral. If he doesn't want to move on after that, Will reckons there's a few who'd willingly give him a good send-off.

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