Ed struggles under the weight of his secret

Ed struggles under the weight of his secret and Tracy tries to get to the truth

Tracy reckons they could have won the weekend cricket by an even bigger margin, but Roy’s not happy with her tactics. She promises not to shout any more, but has some other ‘ideas’ up her sleeve. Chris later tells Harrison he’s had a diplomatic word with Tracy about her behaviour. They’ve come to a competitive arrangement for the Single Wicket. Harrison likes his thinking, and informs him he may be on for stand-in captain for the rest of the season. He’s doing a brilliant job. 

Tracy pumps Roy for information on Tom and Natasha’s relationship woes, but Roy gives nothing away. Tom’s finding the lack of communication from Natasha torture. It’s like he doesn’t know her. Is he good enough for her? Roy assures him they’re a great match. Tom pledges not to give up on her.

Harrison’s determined to keep following the trail of bunting to try and track down the culprit. He reckons they’re out to taunt him.

Ed reports Jazzer’s unhappy that Ed won’t ask Tim to give him work. Emma points out Ed’s under no obligation to Jazzer. Tired Ed snaps at Emma over something small.  They bicker over how hard they’re working, and instantly regret it; it’s their anniversary. Ed apologises. They agree it’s all worth it to have their dream home. All Ed wants is to make Emma happy.

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