An old face returns to Ambridge, and Robert has a challenge on his hands.

At Ambridge Hall Robert's busy fixing the reclaimed whack-a-mole, and Lynda's still teaching Monty to count. Justin drops in to talk about the fete. Berrow Farm wants to sponsor first prize in Pets' Party Pieces - a portrait by Francesca Lockhart. Robert's impressed, and Lynda's happy to put the sponsorship offer to the committee. She's not so sure about Neil being a judge. She's still hoping to attract a proper local celebrity instead. Since Robert's no closer to getting the whack-a-mole working, Justin advises him to check the touch sensors, but Robert insists on blaming the bearings.
Brian collects Debbie from the airport and brings her back to Home Farm. She's had trouble getting away, but Brian's very grateful she's here. Debbie reminds him that she isn't just going to be his spokesperson - she'll form her own opinions. He can't bear the thought of selling the house - he's always been comforted by the idea that Jennifer could stay in her own home if he predeceased her. Later, Debbie and Jennifer survey the clean-up at Low Mead. Debbie's seen pictures but it's still a shock. Jennifer's wondering if selling the house is the only way to keep the family together. But Debbie's convinced she can use this week to come up with a better solution.

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