Jennifer gets a surprise, and it's Ed to the rescue.

Emma's sad that Loxfest is over, but Susan's happier not to be a permanent babysitter. Emma's miffed that Ed will be working late again. But he says the extra cash will be handy in helping them secure their own place. Emma's also excited to be supporting Fallon with her upcycling. She'll supply the junk items, with the help of Eddie.

Charlie's keeping Adam guessing about next year's contract. Brian and Jennifer reassure Adam - they should take Justin at his word. Brian jokes about the baby name Mowgli. Lynda's holding the baby shower tomorrow.

Ed and his tractor come to Charlie's aid at the roadside, towing Charlie's broken-down car back to the Estate. Ed points out Charlie's rule about Ed not being allowed on Estate land. Charlie has to swallow his pride. Time to make an exception.

Jennifer receives a solicitor's letter. She's shocked to be named in John Tregorran's will and is to receive £50K. There's also a personal letter from John, in which he talks of his problems with Carol. It was written six months before he died.

Jennifer worries what people will think but Brian plays it very calm. Any affair was all in John's head, surely. She should accept the money.

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