Jennifer issues an apology, and Roy sacrifices his own feelings.

Word is spreading, fuelled by the sight of scientists and mobile labs on the river banks, that the poison in the Am came from Home Farm.
Jennifer is busy making amends, determined to put things right, in attempt to clear the Home Farm name. Frist, she bakes Kirsty a Victoria Sponge but Kirsty can see right through her, the cake's more than a peace offering it's for her silence - she wants to get Kirsty onside in case she's thinking of suing them after she was taken ill from her swim in the Am. Next, Jennifer seeks out Justin to apologise for her outburst. 

Sunday lunch at the Carter's and Susan's annoyed that Neil's been called away to deal with some escaped pigs but it's not long before she is expounding the importance of gut health and her ever dear kefir. She tells Chris that she's suggested to Helen that the shop might consider setting up a promotional display of her kefir in the window - she could even dress up in a white coat and hair cover to reinforce that all important scientific message. 

Alice isn't in the best of moods when discussion turns to the poison in the Am. According to Susan the word in the village is that Brian's only concerned with making a profit to which Alice tells her that people should stop spreading gossip. Later, Chris brings up the topic of starting a family again but Alice isn't in the right frame of mind to talk about it. 

Roy comes around to the idea of Lexi being Adam and Ian's surrogate - if it means they can stay together then that has to be a good thing. The two tell Adam and Ian making their start to 2018 a very happy one indeed.

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