David loses his cool and Amy tries to get things in perspective.

David is dismayed that the escaped bullocks made front page news. Josh's assertion that the picture is 'just a photograph' bothers him even more. He sees it as a lasting image that will affect the farm. Ruth points out the truth - that it was indeed a very frightening incident. David has to agree. Josh is worried he'll have to give evidence, but Ruth reassures him. David apologises for being irritable, and Josh tells them they don't need to worry about him.
Later, as David and Adam chat about the cricket team which is missing Neil and Tom, conversation inevitably turns to the farm. Adam shares David's concern. David assures Adam he'll be there in court to help nail the culprits.
Amy's had a hard day at work. It's put her own problems into perspective. Alice wants to make Chris's birthday special and seeks Amy's opinion. Amy observes wistfully that Alice is lucky to have Chris. She blames herself for the situation with Carl, and can't believe she was prepared to let him abandon his family for her. She concedes that Usha was right all along. She's treated Usha badly, and doesn't feel she can face her. Alice advises her to get it done, as soon as possible.

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