Susan stirs the pot, and Fallon has unwanted company.

Fallon is being hounded by journalists at the Tea Room. Harrison drops in on Susan - but it's not a social call, it is police business. He is asking the neighbours if they witnessed anything last night. Susan tells Harrison all about Helen's traumatic past. Fallon implies Harrison should go easy on his friend, Helen, but he is haunted by what he saw at the crime scene...
Pat is still processing it all - recently she had thought Rob a godsend. Tom had had his doubts all along. DS Madeley calls round to ask them some questions. Pat and Tom tell Madeley about Helen's bruise, and all about manipulative Rob. Madeley asks if Helen is a violent person, which they unreservedly refute.
Ursula and Bruce, Rob's father, are at the hospital. Rob has had an operation and now he is being taken to intensive care. Bruce is firm with Ursula - tears aren't going to help Rob. Bruce and Ursula storm into Bridge Farm. Bruce confronts them about the daughter they raised. Ursula says she knew all along that Helen was a madwoman, and reminds Pat that she once threatened to kill Rob. Ursula has told that to the police.

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