Kate has the rug pulled from under her, and Ruth suffers a crisis of confidence.

At the Borchester show Ed's worst fears are realised when the officials laugh at the fact that his ram lamb is called Peppa Pig. Emma tries to cheer him up - Peppa's still young, and doing the show will have been great experience. Peppa comes in fourth, and, even better, a breeder offers Ed £4000 for him. The breeder's wife was very moved when Ed explained how Peppa got his name. He's obviously a potential champion!

The Echo has published an article declaring Josh "Bachelor of the Month". David and Ruth point out that it's great publicity, but Pip notes that Josh is the only person making new business contacts. Ruth confides to David that she's worried she'll never be as good a grandmother as Jill. David reminds Ruth of everything she's done for the kids, and for Ruairi - she'll be the most supportive grandmother ever.

Kate returns to Home Farm with a plan. She wants the partners to buy her out of Home Farm so that she can move Spiritual Home to the Kent coast. Brian brings her back to reality. She'd be giving up her farm income, and would get the money over ten years, at a very low interest rate. Brian advises her to pay more attention to the legal realities before dreaming up any more ludicrous plans.

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