Pat makes her feelings known, and there's a stroke of luck for Lilian.

Tom's disappointed that Tony can't take on any milkings after all. Tom protests to Pat that it's a crucial time. Anyone can do the milking but his business needs him. Pat accuses him of being prepared to put Tony's health at risk. Tom assures them that Tony's health comes first. He explains how he wanted to do John proud when he took over his business. He believes he's ready to take it to the next level and doesn't want to lose momentum.
Tom suggests Tony might manage some afternoon milkings and Trevor could do some mornings. Tony agrees he could probably manage that but Pat doesn't think Trevor will do mornings. Tony suggests they could at least ask him. Tom's really grateful.
Matt's pleased to have Lilian home. But Lilian finds it difficult to deal with all his questions about her supposed weekend with Judith.
Lilian phones Paul, who suggests they spend next weekend in London in a swish hotel. Lilian's running out of excuses for Matt, which Paul understands. He'll wait till Lilian feels it's right.
Then Lilian gets a call from James. Leonie can't take him for a hospital check-up and he can't get there on his own. He wonders if Lilian might be able to get down to London on Friday.

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