The pressure is on for Will at the Home Farm Shoot.

Justin Elliot and wife Miranda arrive for the shoot, where Adam supports Brian by acting as a driver. Jennifer has provided hot snacks and alcoholic warmers. Adam's waiting to get a decision from Charlie about Home Farm's contract work. They are meeting on Friday and Adam's under instruction not to mention it to Justin today.

Ed tries to get anxious Will to relax. Meanwhile, Justin's trying to schmooze a guy called Stephen Henderson (aka Henders). It seems in Damara Capital and BL's interests that Henders enjoys himself today. Henders seems lost, though, so Martyn Gibson goes off to find him. Adam's annoyed when Justin slips him £20 as chauffeur. He feels it's a deliberate act to keep Adam in his place.

Things initially seem to be going well, to Will's relief. But as the day progresses, Justin becomes disappointed at the lack of action and criticises Will. Brian smoothes things over with Henders by offering him the pick of the game cart.

When Will complains at Ed after a fiasco with the beating, Ed is also critical. Will later apologizes for snapping. Will and Ed feel they're in the same boat. Things need to improve or it won't be a good Christmas.

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