Lexi takes control, and could there be mutiny in the Bridge Farm dairy?

At the polytunnels Lexi can see instantly that Phoebe is unwell, so offers to drive her home. Phoebe tells her about problem with the condom that she and Constantin had. She has taken the morning after pill but has been throwing up since so it might not have worked. As they discuss getting another pill, Lexi advises Phoebe to also book into a sexual health clinic, as Constantin has been "a busy boy". Phoebe thanks Lexi for helping her get there - it would have been hard to ask anyone else. 

Susan and Clarrie laugh about Joe's proposition to Oliver. Clarrie's worried they may yet be turfed out of Grange Farm. Tom invites Susan and Clarrie to try some samples of kefir. They don't like it so Tom tries to win them round by advocating its health benefits. 

Emma catches Tom before he sets off on his next Nuffield trip. She tells him she backs their land sale to Damara, which pleases Tom. Later, Emma challenges Susan about agreeing with Jennifer over the affordable housing in the Bridge Farm development. Susan insists she didn't. Emma feels that she and Ed are the people who people like Jennifer label as undesirables - they're outsiders in their own village.

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