Harrison hatches a plan, and Alistair faces a dilemma.

Eddie's asks Pip if she knows anything about the cost of local B&Bs. She has a friend who rents out a room - apparently it's easy money. Later, Eddie pumps Lynda for information about Ambridge Hall. Lynda states she and Robert are lucky; they have a few loyal repeat clients. Joe's sceptical about Eddie's scheme but Eddie's undeterred. They're sitting on a goldmine at Grange Farm. All they need to do is persuade Clarrie.

Anisha takes a call from Mr Hodge who requests Alistair attends his sick cow instead of her. After some thought, Alistair says Anisha should be the one who goes. If they lose a client, so be it. They need to decide what sort of practice they want to be. 

Josh asks Pip to mend a fence he damaged earlier. Reluctant Pip agrees when he offers to do one of her early milking shifts in return. 

Harrison seeks Lynda's advice on getting people on board ahead of the cricket AGM. She has some words of wisdom for him, and he's encouraged. His big idea is to get women on the team. Alistair warns him it has been voted down in the past. He suggests recruiting some female players in advance might strengthen Harrison's case. But when Pip turns Harrison down, he wonders whether the team has a future.

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