Helen's tetchy, and Kirsty has some good ideas.

Lilian returns to the office in need of a coffee. Anthea offers to help clear up some outstanding matters but Lilian insists she can cope.

Kirsty asks how things are going with Bellingham's. Tom reckons sales are holding up but is worried about what will happen when the promotion ends. Kirsty suggests he tries to get something going on Twitter. Tom explains he's already posted about the launch and had a few responses. Kirsty suggests sending notable followers some free samples With a bit of luck, they'll tweet about it. He could also post pictures of cute pigs and run a caption competition. Tom agrees it's worth a try.

Anthea orders a sandwich in the Bull - very carefully. Jolene asks her how she's getting on at Amside. Anthea guesses that Jolene is a friend of Lilian. Jolene tries to explain that Lilian usually works alongside her partner, so things are particularly tricky at the moment.

Jolene later tells Lilian that she's met Anthea, and agrees that she's a funny old stick. Lilian admits that right now she'd give anything to have Brenda back.

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