Ed finds himself cornered while Adam and Ian take the plunge

Clarrie voices her concerns to Will about Poppy. Her teacher said that Poppy had fallen asleep at school. Will assures Clarrie he’s coping alright. Poppy’s probably just missing Mia. Clarrie thinks Will should make up with Bev. It would help if he could have a hand when he’s working late, and Bev must be missing Poppy. He agrees to give her a call, but Clarrie doesn’t believe him.

Adam takes Ian to a spot by the river that he visited when he was young. They go for a swim and enjoy a picnic. Before they leave, Ian suggests they jump in one more time, naked. After their swim, they hear a car crash. They want to help, but can’t go without any clothes.

Will gets out of his car, and finds Ed by his crumpled van at the side of the road. Checking the damage, Will notices chemicals leaking out onto the road. Ed pleads with Will to help him deliver the chemicals, and discovers that Poppy is in Will’s car. He’s been taking her to work with him. Ed strikes Will a deal: they could drop Poppy at home together, then Ed could borrow Will’s car to finish off the job. If he stops delivering chemicals and Will helps him, he’ll keep his mouth shut about Poppy.

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