The pressure mounts for Emma and Ed. Meanwhile Matt makes a sharp exit.

Fraught Lilian's trying to juggle assuaging Matt's petulance with attending to the demands of James. Matt disappears to the pub. A call from Paul provides welcome calm. He suggests a bell might be useful for James.

Tom thinks Fallon will be great at Jaxx, though he admits he'll miss her at the Bull. Jolene agrees. But she's a bit worried about spiky Naomi's reaction to it all. Jolene gets a call from Lilian, and passes instructions to Matt to take home the bell from the bar.

Will asks if he can take George and Keira to the safari park at half term, and have George overnight. Emma's conflicted, but agrees. She can't compete with it, but at least it's a treat for the children. Ed explores the possibility of night work in the supermarket, but Emma won't hear of it. 

Later Emma's struggling with a Halloween costume for George. She tells Ed the car needs looking at, and he counters ruefully that they'll need more heating oil soon. It's a bleak picture. When Will turns up with a cute, shop-bought costume for George, it's the last straw. Putting her homemade effort in the bin, Emma laments that she's rubbish.

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