Pat is stunned at the proposal and Pip makes herself useful.

Brian and Jennifer agree that Ruairi seems to have enjoyed his first term at Saint Francis School. Jennifer tells Brian that she's confirmed they'll go to Neil and Susan's for drinks on Christmas morning. She wishes Debbie would be home in time to join them. Brian wishes he didn't have to socialise with the entire Horrobin clan. 

Eamonn calls Tony again. The meeting needs to be this Sunday, before Sharon talks herself out of it, at the Christmas market in Leeds. Eamonn emphasis that they're not to mention John, and once it's over there'll be no more contact, unless Rich ever asks about his past. 

David tells Pip about the leaking slurry lagoon. He's proved the damage has been caused by badgers. Clem the engineer can put in a repair to get them through to the time when it's legal to spread slurry again. But they need a long-term fix, and lining it is going to cost £20k. 

Tony confesses to Pat that he's been in touch with Eamonn, and explains their brief opportunity to see Rich. Pat's stunned, but clutches at straws and suggests they might allow more contact. Tony tells her that won't happen. A moment's chat is all there is. She has to decide if it's enough.

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