Ed feels he is on the right track, and the Bull's punters are not going hungry.

David and Ed discuss the Brookfield Farm innovations. David explains that better quality yield should lead to greater profit, but Ed is sceptical. Ed says that quality produce was not enough to save his own farm. But now things are looking up, as Adam has provided him with a fair bit of work. They decide to go The Bull for lunch.
At The Bull, Wayne thinks they should put Tom's scotch eggs on their menu. Kenton is unenthusiastic, because it was Wayne's idea. David and Ed come in, and are complimentary about Wayne's food. Kenton doesn't want to hear it. Jolene forces him to pass on their compliments to the chef. David and Ed discuss Ed's foundation course, and hope that it will lead to better things for him, in a more specialised area.
Helen goes round to see Pat, and is offered lunch. She eats some, but not a lot. Pat offers to help out more, and encourages Helen to relax as her due date is only ten weeks away. Pat brings up the controversial issue of her decision to have a home birth. Helen insists it is what she and Rob want, in spite of her last, traumatic birth. Helen snaps and tells Pat to leave her alone, and that it is her decision: her baby, her body.

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