Bert is rebuilding, and Jill takes a call.

One of the Brookfield cows has a complication during calving. Vet Alistair is on his way to help. Bert is working in the Brookfield workshop, and tells Jill that he and Rex are getting on well but less so with Toby, who is unhelpful around the house.
Elizabeth tells Jill she has been preparing her "gallant loser face" in case she is unsuccessful in the Borsetshire Businesswoman of the Year award. They try and think of ways they can help Pat in this difficult time, but they are at a loss. Then Jill dashes out to take an urgent call...
Helen's solicitor Dominic visits Bridge Farm. Dominic says Henry won't be able to visit Helen because he is a key eye-witness. Dominic tells Pat that for the courts to grant bail they need to be convinced that she wouldn't commit any offence. Pat is insistent that she wouldn't - it's not in her nature to be violent. Jill bursts in on Dominic and Pat and says she has found a way to help Helen: Carol's daughter Anna Tregorran is a high-flying barrister who specialises in domestic abuse. Jill says that Anna will meet Pat to talk about representing Helen.

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