Rob is working hard, and Lynda pricks Jim's conscience.

Lynda is not happy with Jazzer's ideas for the Highland Games. But Jim thinks she will be pleasantly surprised, as Jazzer has been putting his heart and soul into his research.

Lynda attempts to discuss Jennifer with Jim, but he avoids the matter, steering all conversation in another direction. But he can only avoid the issue for so long. When Jennifer visibly avoids the shop, he can't resist a snide remark. Lynda doesn't think much of Jim's behaviour and challenges him about relishing Jennifer's discomfiture. Jim admits defeat and suggests he may have gone too far.

Brian doesn't think Rob has made much progress regarding the hiring of staff. But he is pleased that Rob has found a vet practice. Even though the company doesn't meet his initial specification of a large animal practice, Rob has negotiated terms. Brian knows one of the vets, Ken Drewitt.

David and Josh discuss Josh's marketing ploys. Neil is bringing over a small ark of chickens and eggs so that Josh can display them on Sunday. It seems Rob has had a similar idea as he approaches David about displaying some information about the Borchester Land's mega-dairy. David politely declines, but Josh is offended at Rob's cheek.

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