Helen has reason to panic, and the Aldridges celebrate.

Brian finds Jennifer rearranging the furniture for their 40th wedding anniversary party and helps her with a particularly heavy item. Brian is in a good mood because he has had a draft report through from Borsetshire Wildlife Trust. It concludes that the visitors to the elves in the Millennium Wood are causing significant harm to the plant and bird life.

Helen tells Anna about when Rob made Henry throw away the chocolate Easter egg from Helen's parents and the soft toy rabbit she had got him as punishment for being naughty. Anna tells Helen that Rob has requested to see Jack. Helen doesn't want to grant Rob access to Jack but if she doesn't co-operate Anna says Rob's very likely to take the matter to court.

In a speech to their guests, Brian says it's an absolute privilege to be married to Jennifer and he gives her a ruby eternity ring. Jennifer adds she is grateful they have been able to weather the storms. And Brian announces they are going to Venice on the Orient Express. At the party, Lilian fills Justin in on Toby's pitch to make corporate films. Justin trusts Lilian to take care of it. Later, he finds a quiet moment to outline how his and Miranda's relationship works. As he looks to find the right words Lilian beats him to it and asks him if he is asking her to be his mistress. What do you think, asks Justin.

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