Alice prepares for the worst. Meanwhile Iftikar digs deeper.

Brenda's been doing Lilian's work again. She's sick and tired of working late, and is annoyed that Tom's made no effort over supper. Things get heated as she tells him that he's in his own self-absorbed little world. He needs to repair things with his parents, starting with an apology.
Iftikar coaxes Freddie to talk about Christopher's accident. Freddie believes it was his fault. Iftikar assures him it was an accident. Freddie hasn't talked to Elizabeth about it because it would remind her of his dad's fatal accident.
Elizabeth is touched to learn that Freddie is trying to protect her. Iftikar tells her that he's organising a maths trail in Felpersham Science Museum for his pupils. It would be great if Freddie and Lily could test it out. Elizabeth's welcome to come too.
Brian takes Alice straight from the airport to visit Christopher. He warns her that Christopher is very poorly. As he lies in his hospital bed on a ventilator, Alice tells Christopher that she's sorry about how they left things last Sunday. But she's back now. All he has to do is get better. He just has to.

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