There's a tense cricket match in Ambridge.

There's a tense cricket match in Ambridge, and Adam loses patience.

Ian tries to grill Adam about his threat to leave Home Farm - would he really go through with it? Adam admits he said it to Brian in the heat of the moment. But Ian's wondering what's going on - isn't Adam happy? Rob comments to Ian about sensing an atmosphere between Adam and Charlie, as those two head off to get ready to play cricket. Today Ambridge are playing Loxley Barrett.
Charlie makes it clear he's unhappy about Adam cancelling his contract with him - and at such short notice. Brian quizzes Ian, who reveals that Adam acted without telling him. But he supports him whatever.

Jennifer's excited about Debbie visiting. Brian needs Debbie to "knock some sense" into Adam and get him to reverse his decision over the maize contract with Charlie. Jennifer knows that Adam's aware of the future - just as Helen and Tom are.

There's a mix up between Charlie and Rob when they're in bat together. Charlie runs but Rob tells him to get back. Charlie's out and feels bitter towards Rob. Adam rubs salt in by agreeing with Rob's point of view - Rob's contribution helped them to win today.

Brian's keen to talk further with Adam, but Adam's off celebrating. Charlie thinks Adam has it in for them both, but Brian's determined to talk Adam round.

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