Kenton and Jolene return. Meanwhile, it is a bad day for Bert.

Jolene and Kenton return from Australia, shocked at the devastation they find in Ambridge - and at the Bull. They have a few gifts for Fallon, as a thank you for looking after the pub.

Bert and Jill plan Freda's funeral. Bert will read a special poem he has written. He asks Jill to give the eulogy. Jill is touched and suggests that Jolene also talks about Freda's life at the Bull. Although his heart is broken, Bert's keen to keep things positive and remember happy times. And there will be flowers, what with Freda having arranged the church flowers for so long. Although he's doing his best, Bert wonders what on earth he's going to do without Freda.

Unaware of David's decision to stay in Ambridge, Kenton welcomes him at the Bull as the local hero. But when David finally comes clean about not moving, Kenton is furious. He points out all the things he was planning to do with the money from the Brookfield sale, like helping Fallon's business and setting up a trust fund for Meriel. Kenton doesn't want to listen to David's protestations. He can't even look at his brother right now and sends him away.

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