Peggy strides out, and Mike puts on a brave face.

Peggy is enjoying a very windy Whitby rather more than Lilian is. Peggy is surprised when Lilian explains that the young people 'in fancy dress' are actually Goths, who come to the town for its Dracula connections. As they prepare for dinner, Lilian is flustered when Peggy offers to read out a text Lilian has received. Lilian intercepts it and says it's just James.
Neil invites Mike for a drink. Mike would rather stay with Vicky but she insists she'll be fine. Still concerned, Mike phones Brenda and asks her to look in on Vicky. 
Vicky realises that Brenda's visit is Mike's idea but she's not complaining. They spend a relaxed evening discussing possible baby names. Nothing's decided for definite yet but Vicky dreamily reflects on the imminent arrival of Bethany Claire.
The baby is the main topic of conversation in the Bull too. Mike's looking forward to meeting his little girl but his old doubts creep back. Neil assures Mike that it's natural to get cold feet - he was the same with Emma. Mike just hopes Vicky is right and that the baby will be healthy and happy - and have a least a bit of independence in her life.

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