Disaster looms for Freddie, and Roy fears for the future.

Lexi has decided she can't wait to get pregnant before returning to Bulgaria - she misses her girls. Roy's keen to support her, but is concerned when she won't commit to a return date. Adam agrees to delay the final embryo transfer. 

Harrison's police mate Kelvin decides to take the whole stag party to Lower Lowley's beer festival. Tom, Roy and Toby are all glad to find that they don't have to be on best behaviour, despite being surrounded by police officers. Kelvin dresses Harrison in a Union Jack dress, and handcuffs him to the front gates. When Chris goes to rescue him Chris swears he didn't breathe a word about the Spice Girls strip tease. Harrison believes him. They don't know how Kelvin found out, but he clearly has a glittering career in CID ahead of him.

Lily checks on Freddie in case he's still down about Topper, and finds him counting pills. She storms off to get drunk at the festival on her own. Freddie runs into Toby, who is flagging after sleepless nights with Rosie. He offers Toby a pill to keep him awake, and Harrison comes to investigate. Freddie assumes it's a windup, but Harrison is serious. Lily comes over in time to see Harrison arrest Freddie on suspicion of possessing a controlled drug with intent to supply.

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