Eddie gets some bad news, and Emma overhears a phone call.

Caroline arrives at Grange Farm while Eddie and Ed drench the new Texel ewes in the yard. She points out that once the farmhouse is sold they will have to find another place for jobs like this. Eddie comes off the phone from Neil - he needs to go to talk to the Parish Council about the complaints over his various signs for Elfworld. Joe boasts to Caroline that his bad feeling about felling the sycamore has been justified - it was that which caused the damp in the house. Eddie returns and tells Joe that they have to take the posters for Elfworld down. He resigns to close ElfWorld to the public. 

Emma collects Henry for the day. Rob doesn't want her to let Henry get dirty or to give him sugary treats. Emma joins Ed with Keira, George and Henry. Ed and Emma talk about the difficulty they are having in finding an affordable place to live. When Emma returns Henry to Blossom Hill Cottage they walk in on Rob leaving a voicemail for his solicitor. He is annoyed he can't be with Henry when he is interviewed for the Section 7 report. He also mentions Helen having a character witness, where is his character witness, he asks. Rob ends the call and Emma tentatively asks about character witnesses. Rob is only aware of Ian. Rob tells Emma he won't need her on Friday because of Henry's interview.

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