Dan's off to Sandhurst. Meanwhile, Pat is very concerned.

Dan's packed and ready to leave for Sandhurst. Alistair and Shula drive him there, have a good look around and take it all in. Dan reports in, ironing board under his arm, and is shown to his quarters. He's given overalls to wear until the uniforms are handed out on Thursday.

Shula and Alistair eventually say goodbye with a hug. He'll see them again in five weeks. On the way home, Shula starts to cry.

Pat's annoyed with Tony for spoiling the good work she'd done to get Tom to open up. Pat gets Roy to help her find a clue as to where Tom has gone. Could Brenda know something? It's a long shot, says Roy. But he leaves Brenda a message anyway, asking if she's heard anything from Tom.

Jazzer's hungover and late in for work with the pigs. He's clearly struggling on his own, without Tom. He also has sheep shearing work coming up with Ed. Tony's anxious that Tom returns in time for the organic inspectors.

Roy and Jazzer chat about Loxfest. Roy's contracting an events manager to take care of booking the acts. In the meantime, Jazzer looks forward to May Day tomorrow. Beer, food and cake. What's not to like?

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