Jolene and Kenton are under a cloud, and Ed has got his suit sorted.

Kenton and Jolene have money worries and bills due. Kenton nervously phones the bank asking for an overdraft extension. They'll only authorise it if they can show extra income coming in - but business at the Bull is poor. Jolene suggests they use their credit cards carefully to keep all the debt in one place. Concerned Fallon asks Jolene whether Kenton is okay.
David has found Ed a catcher for the sheep shearing - Barney, a sheep farmer and friend of Pip's.
Ed tells David he went back to Berrow Farm but noticed that the blocked culvert is now completely clear - someone has done him a favour. Ed now has a free afternoon to sort out his wedding suit. David encourages him about his groom's speech.
Eddie tells Ed about meeting Rex Fairbrother yesterday. Rex is looking for a few acres - perhaps Ed could pass on his tenancy at the Estate to Rex?
Lynda's looking for her maypole, keen to press ahead with May Day in Ambridge and make it a success. Kenton will contact the Morris Men that he stood down, expecting May Day to be cancelled. Fallon agrees to supply a tea tent. She has a helper at the ready - Lynda's intrigued by who it might be.

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