Roy takes desperate measures and Hannah hatches a plan

Tom gives Natasha a tour of his tiny home. There’s an awkward moment when Hannah overhears them joking about how messy she is. Hannah encourages Tom to tell Natasha about their “friends with benefits” arrangement. Tom isn’t sure this is a good idea. Hannah argues that it might look like a massive deception if Natasha finds out later. Tom takes her point, and does it straight away. Natasha is surprised, but impressed by his honesty. She’s heard of other people trying a similar arrangement, but never successfully. She asks if Hannah is likely to be uncomfortable around herself and Tom. Tom reassures Natasha that Hannah was delighted when they got together. 

Lynda discovers that Roy ’s been looking into hotel work in Bistritsa. Roy goes to Honeysuckle Cottage and attempts to say “words cannot describe my love for you” to Lexi in Bulgarian. Lexi gently but firmly reiterates her reasons for breaking up. Roy can’t just move to Bulgaria and leave his children, any more than Lexi can stay in England without hers. Roy continues to argue, and Lexi has to ask him to leave. Back at Grey Gables, Lynda takes advantage of Roy’s sadness. She offers him a part in Canterbury Tales – as a distraction, of course. Bleakly, Roy accepts.

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