Brenda's had enough, and there's a last farewell at Bridge Farm.

Tom and Tony load Lonely Cow - their last - to take to market. Brian calls round and finds Tom full of his Bellingham's launch next week. Brian counsels Tom to proceed with caution. Supermarkets can be tricky. Tony is subdued when he returns even though he got a good price for the cow. Tony asks Tom round for dinner on Thursday as Helen has invited Rob over, but Tom is too busy.

Kenton walks in on Jolene trying on tops to donate to the swishing evening. Kenton is reluctant to suggest any go. Especially not the one she wore on their first date. They playfully reminisce and make plans.

When Lilian arrives at work, Brenda doesn't think she looks well. When asked about pressing work matters, Lilian becomes tearful and rushes off. Seeing this, Brian asks if it's a bad time. Brenda confides in Brian that Lilian has not been herself for some time.

Later Lilian and Brenda clash again. Brenda is fed up with Lilian's attitude. Lilian explodes. She won't be spoken to like that. She and Matt have made her. Without them she's just another kid in the village with horizons that don't stretch beyond the Borchester bypass. Accusations fly and Brenda tells Lilian she can stuff her job.

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