There's an awkward dinner at Bridge Farm and Tom makes a surprising decision

As Neil suspects, Hannah hasn’t always been filling the trucks when she sends away consignments of pigs from Berrow. Neil gently reprimands her, but Hannah explains that the rising cost of feed has actually made this approach more economical. She’s run it by Justin, and he agreed. Neil finally concedes she has a point; he just wishes she’d explained it sooner. Later, Susan observes to deflated Neil that as the manager, it’s a win win for him. If the idea works, he was right to listen to Hannah. If it doesn’t, then Hannah is to blame.

Pat’s anxious for tonight’s dinner with Natasha to go well, despite Tony’s grumpiness. Tom announces he’s decided to stop kefir production. Pat and Tony are concerned about how Susan will react to losing her managerial role. Natasha irritates them by saying that Tom can’t pay Susan for a job she isn’t doing. Pat’s also upset that Natasha doesn’t like her cooking. Tony’s ready to have an argument about the kefir, but Pat takes him into the kitchen in an effort to keep the peace. Natasha has brought Pat make-up as a present. Pat valiantly endures Natasha’s attempts to teach her to use it. Later, Pat laments to Tony that all she’d wanted was a nice dinner to celebrate Tom finally finding someone!

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