The Grundy’s have a screw loose and Rex’s confidence takes a knock

Pip takes Rosie to see Rex and the pigs; she tells Rex she's still struggling to find Rosie a nursery. Rex explains he’s still having trouble with Basil the boar. If he can’t produce any piglets, Rex will end up looking like an amateur to Tom. After their meeting with Phoebe, they share their fears about how Kate will represent their case for Home Farm land to the partnership. Pip reckons it’ll be close.
Ed wants to get a move on with the cider pressing, but Clarrie is fussing over Will. He’s pleased to be having a fresh start for himself and Poppy. Ed’s feeling smothered by Clarrie’s constant mothering; they’re not children anymore. Ed and Will work as quickly as possible to be finished in time for Poppy’s birthday tea, but disaster strikes and a key screw from the cider press breaks. The screw’s ancient, possibly Victorian, so it’ll be nigh on impossible to replace. Eddie won’t countenance buying a modern press. Grange Farm cider and the cider club are a ray of hope for the village, so whatever it takes, they’ve got to find a way to get the cider flowing again.

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