Mike has money on his mind and George counts the cost.

Ed has come in for breakfast. He suggests to Emma that they have a lie-in after his birthday night out but she's not sure whether they have enough money for drinks. They agree that Ed should go out on his own but not tell anyone about their money problems.

Mike and Vicky are also worried about how they'll manage financially when she finishes work but Mike says they'll cope. Mike decides to take on Harry's the milk round permanently to support them.

Keira's making a birthday card for Ed while Emma hangs out the washing. Ruth appears and Emma stops herself from asking for more money.

Jamie helps Mike with felling trees. Mike is impressed with Jamie's knowledge. He asks about college but Jamie's not very enthusiastic about his studies.

Will takes George to The Bull to treat him to a meal. Eddie greets them and explains that he's there to escape from Joe and his false teeth. He's lost his regular set and keeps taking out the uncomfortable spare one. George asks what food Will can afford and reveals that Emma and Ed have been arguing about money. 

Will is angry with Ed and Emma for not being careful with money. Eddie defends them saying that George never goes without. But Will is concerned they're not providing properly for his son.

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