Pat has got plenty to celebrate, and there is a shock for Rob and Helen.

It's Pat's birthday. She's so pleased to see tony out of his hospital bed and sitting in a chair. He has even managed to get Pat a present of some perfume. He invites Pat to sit and tell him all the latest news. They have a moment together - Tony could hear Pat when she sat by his side and begged him not to leave her.

Helen thanks Johnny for all the extra work he has been doing. But she politely picks Johnny up on a mistake at the shop - it seems he neglected to check the paperwork on a veg box order, and supplied too much. Johnny gets frustrated and slightly defensive - he was only trying to help.

Jennifer suspects there's a conspiracy amongst the local press against reporting on the new Road activities and affairs of the Local Enterprise Partnership. Lynda has idea for a photo opportunity - with Plough Monday coming up, they should get hold of a horse-drawn plough which the SAVE committee can stand around.

Rob receives a letter from the Child Maintenance Service. He's horrified to discover that he has been named on the birth certificate for Jess's baby. Surely it's a mistake, says Helen.

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