Elizabeth stuggles to accept the truth and the Aldridges are left horrified

At the Dower House Justin hosts a soiree to welcome new BL board members. Having worked so hard to secure an invitation, Lynda turns on the charm. She reminds Lilian and Justin of their stellar work in Mother Goose. They argue it’ll be hard to sign up without knowing what her new production is, but Lynda insists upon being mysterious. When she claims that their involvement will complete her contribution to theatre they find that they can’t refuse. 

At the soiree Brian discovers that new board member Glenda Belcher has plans for Home Farm. Jennifer’s shocked when he informs her that Glenda wants BL to turn it into flats. Jennifer tries hard to repress her emotional response. They’re selling the house to clear their debts – if BL offers the best price then so be it. 

In The Bull David mentions the rumours he’s heard about Freddie. Kenton assumes that Elizabeth must have told David Freddie’s dealing wasn’t a one-off, and ends up having to tell the whole story. Elizabeth arrives – she’s furious. Usha has just told her that Freddie’s sentence was fair, and that there are no grounds for appeal. Elizabeth’s shocked when David and Kenton conclude that there’s nothing else they can do. Freddie’s too vulnerable to stay in prison – she isn’t going to give up.

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