Anisha worries for her reputation, and is Josh pulling a fast one?

Josh delivers a new bonnet and badge to a delighted Tony for his old Fordson tractor, with Josh emphasising how much digging around he did to find them. Tony baulks at the cost and Rex can't believe Josh's 40% mark up, particularly as Tony is family. Josh mentions to Rex that he saw Toby, who must be grovelling back to Pip. Josh then goes back and revises his price. He offers to get a good price for the Fordson if Tony ever wants to sell - but Tony insists that he's never parting with it. 

Alistair's intrigued by Anisha's ideas for the vet practice, ahead of their meeting with the contractor tomorrow. Anisha admits that she cheated at the drinking competition with Jazzer. He advises Anisha to just get on with being a good vet - there's nothing else she can do about the inevitable village gossip about her drinking prowess. Anisha's worried about being perceived as a heavy drinker, so to make amends she speaks to Susan, knowingly asking her to keep her Burns Night strategy a secret. 

Susan wastes no time in telling Clarrie Anisha's revelation. Clarrie also has gossip to share, but stops herself as she's sworn to secrecy by Eddie. Susan has heard enough to deduce something about an early morning visitor to the Dower House. Clarrie doesn't need to spell it out - Susan can guess.

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