Anna is feeling challenged, and Rob receives good news.

Kirsty's manning the Bridge Farm Shop and while Carol is taking a call from Anna, Johnny admits to Kirsty that Anna scares the pants off him. Let's hope she scares the pants off Rob Titchener, says Kirsty.

Ursula reports what she saw and heard in the village shop but Rob is unresponsive, busy preparing for his meeting with Justin. Afterwards, he tells Ursula there were a few sticky questions about why he left Berrow Farm but Justin nodded along with what Rob had to say. Ursula decides to take Rob out for lunch to celebrate the fact that he's "back in the world". Later, Justin asks Rob if he would be interested in running Damara's estates. Rob asks for the weekend to think about it. 

Anna reveals nothing when Carol asks about her evening with Max and she quickly leaves for work. She has a phone call with Helen top draft her statement for the family court hearing. That evening Carol asks Anna what's wrong. Anna is feeling down about both Max and Helen. Helen only wanted to talk about trivial matters today, while Max has a new girlfriend and has asked Anna for a divorce. Anna's self-confidence is dented and she doesn't see how she can win Helen's case.

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