It is a difficult day for Rob, but Shula has high hopes.

Helen tries to reassure sceptical Rob that her recent work at the shop was a one off. 

Helen insists on driving Rob today, and being there for him as he takes the paternity test. On the journey, Rob says the whole thing is a waste of time - pure vindictiveness from Jess. She's clearly a fantasist. All the more reason to take the test, says Helen.

The doctor understands that Rob's there under protest. He explains it could be a week to ten days before Rob gets the results. The mother and the Child Maintenance Service will also see the results.

Jim asks Tom about his sausages and Tom says yes he will be cooking them in the shop .

Tony has found a good looking bull. Having checked it out online, Tom agrees to go with Tony for a proper look, to help him decide. 

Shula's cooking a special dinner of smoked salmon soufflé for Alistair, to celebrate Dan's commissioning as a Second Lieutenant. Alistair's not around though - Jim saw his car heading for Penny Hassett. Richard Locke phones Shula, asking to meet up for coffee. Shula takes his number, offering to call back. As she's distracted, the soufflé spoils. Oh no.

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