There is startling news for Emma. Meanwhile Natalie finds an inspired solution.

Jamie wants to spend quality time with Natalie but she's got cricket on her mind. Jamie suggests the girls could play against St Margaret's school and Natalie puts the idea to Alistair. He doesn't think there's enough interest to make up a girls' team but Natalie's not giving up. Jamie suggests some of her hockey playing friends could be given honorary cricket team status. But after discussing this with Alistair they come up with a different plan. Some of the boys will be given honorary female status to make up the team.

Keith brings Chelsea's bridesmaid dress round. It's all wedding talk at home, so he's glad to escape. Emma assures him the expense will be worth it when he walks Samantha down the aisle. 

When Ed learns the truth about what's been happening at Brookfield, he worries about going away on his course but he knows it'll be good for him. Emma thinks differently. David and Ruth should have told them earlier. She doesn't want Ed to leave her and George alone. Either Ed stays, or she goes. If it's not safe for Ruth and David's kids, it's not safe for theirs either. Not without their dad in the house.

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