Ed's suspicions rise and Josh is not impressed

At Bridge Farm Tony and Johnny are busy with the calving heifers. One of the heifers gets into trouble and Johnny’s keen to call Alistair but Tony tells him to stay calm and instructs him on what to do. Under Tony’s guidance Johnny delivers the twin calves.

Tim offers Ed some extra work delivering pesticides in the middle of the night. Ed becomes suspicious and Tim admits that it might not all be above board but why shouldn’t the little guys make some money once in a while? Ed declines the offer. Later, back at Grange Farm Emma tells Ed that Peggy will no longer need her to clean The Lodge because Kate’s going to be cleaning from now on. To make matters worse Ed worries he’s blown it with Tim, as Tim lets Ed know that he won’t be needed to finish off the job they were working on. 

Josh is put out that he was not asked to be Rosie’s godfather, and when Toby’s friend drops out he’s annoyed that Pip hasn’t considered him. Later, after Pip’s had time to think she asks if Josh might like to be Rosie’s godfather after all. Josh is delighted. They’re all set for the perfect day.

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