Tony is antagonistic, and Helen is feeling vulnerable.

Rob and Helen don't want to get out of bed but Pat is looking after Henry. Rob persuades Helen to at least stay for lunch. She swings into action, not only making lunch but washing up afterwards. Rob asks Helen when she can come over again. He offers to take her out on Friday night, Helen likes the idea of being out in public - and of coming back to Rob's afterwards.

At Bridge Farm, Pat and Tony are wondering why Helen isn't back from town yet. They decide to take Henry to the playground. They bump into Neil and Kathy. Tony joins Neil for a pint at the Bull while Kathy goes with Pat to the playground.

In the Bull, there is an awkward moment as Neil invites Rob to join them, Tony is not happy.

Helen meets up with Pat, Kathy and Henry at the playground. To Helen's dismay, Pat invites Kathy to the open-air theatre on Friday night. Who will look after Henry? Thankfully Tony offers to help. As Helen plays with Henry, Tony and Pat agree that it's a relief not to have Rob around the farm so much but wonder why. Surely he and Helen haven't fallen out? Pat hasn't seen Helen so happy in ages.

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