Will and Ed go head to head. Meanwhile Jim feels vindicated.

An elated Jim rings Mike to tell him that the article about him has been accepted by Borsetshire Life. Jim visits Christine to give her the news over a cheese scone. Christine admits that she used reverse psychology to spur Jim into writing the article. They continue to chat and work through the crossword.
Will goes to Rickyard Cottage to find Ed there instead of Emma. The brothers are tense with each other as Will tells Ed he's aware of their financial problems. Before Ed can shut the door in his face, Will suggests that he and Nic have George more often. The argument escalates, especially when Will mentions the car breaking down. Will accuses Ed of not providing for George properly, and Ed retaliates by shutting the door. 
James is hobbling around looking for painkillers. He's glad that Matt is away. He tells Lilian that he never trusted the 'slippery eel'. Lilian snaps and goes for a lie down. She calls Paul, who lends a sympathetic ear to her troubles.
Mike checks up on Ed at Grange Farm. Ed takes the opportunity to ask Mike if he has any work. Mike has nothing to offer but wishes he could help.

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