Freddie loses his temper and Helen kicks off her new hobby

Helen’s been researching mobile milking parlours. Johnny likes the idea of milking in the fields rather than bringing the cows in. But Tom warns him that the logistics would be complicated. Helen offers to set up some visits to see different setups in action. Later, Johnny admits to Josh that’s he’s nervous about the responsibility. Josh offers to let him practice milking at Brookfield. 

At karate, Josh asks Johnny if he’s seen Bella. He only joined when Emma promised Bella would be there. Shula discovers that she and Robert are the oldest people in the class. Shula and Helen agree that the warmup is tougher than anticipated. Shula’s glad she chose to come. She decides not to do Lynda’s Christmas show.

Elizabeth visits Freddie in prison. Her upbeat assessment of his chances of getting an appeal doesn’t have the desired effect. He doesn’t think it’ll ever happen, and is resigned to keeping his head down and enduring his full sentence. He’s appalled when she suggests he could move to the vulnerable prisoners’ wing. She’s doesn’t understand – the inmates assume everyone in there is a paedophile. Freddie tells her not to bother applying to visit again – her stupid suggestions aren’t helping. When Elizabeth returns to Ambridge she goes straight to Shula, and laments that she’s made everything worse.

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