Justin puts his foot down and Peggy makes a promise

Peggy visits Christine in hospital. Christine’s feeling guilty - she’s being such an inconvenience. Everyone but Peggy thinks she still has a nest egg to rely on. If only she hadn’t let herself be scammed she’d have so many more choices, Christine says. Peggy promises to make all the necessary adaptations for her to come back to The Lodge. Later, Lilian tries to persuade Peggy to at least consider moving Christine to a nursing home, at least for rehab. Peggy isn’t convinced.

At Grange Farm Eddie and Joe consider the toilet arrangements for the cider club. When the weather is bad neither the members nor Clarrie appreciate having to drunkenly stagger to the farm house. Joe and Eddie approaches Justin, who isn’t taken with the idea of building a toilet for a bunch of boozers. They generously offer to publicise the gesture if he agrees. Justin offers them a portaloo if they promise to keep it anonymous.

Lilian spots Glenda’s plans for BL to acquire Home Farm on Justin’s desk. She’s horrified. Jenny has been comforting herself with the idea that it’ll still be a family home. Converting it would break her heart. But Justin intends to vote for or against the proposal strictly on business grounds. So Lilian refuses to join him for dinner – why not take Glenda since they’re so matey?

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