Jazzer digs for dirt and Clarrie is concerned.

Jim asks for Jazzer's help in deciding what to do for Alistair's birthday, and Jazzer offers to make some enquiries. Jazzer discovers that Alistair has never had a proper birthday party - not even when he was a child. Alistair insists that he doesn't mind - you can't miss what you've never had. But Jazzer is shocked, and tells Jim exactly what he thinks of this oversight. Jazzer takes over organising Alistair's birthday; he's had the perfect idea.

At Home Farm Jennifer's frantically cleaning ahead of a viewing tomorrow. She has high hopes for this couple; they would fit perfectly into village life. At the Bull Brian strikes up a conversation with Joe about the Flower and Produce show. Joe explains the cut-throat nature of the competition, and boasts about his prowess at psychological warfare. Brian asks if he has any tips for Jenny, but Joe declares that gardening isn't about following instructions. It comes from the soul.

Will beats himself up about a mistake he makes when buying Poppy's school shoes. Nic would have had everything ready for her first day, and he can't even get this right. Clarrie consoles him; he's done everything he can for Poppy. He needs to trust that she can manage her first day of school on her own.

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