Lilian fears the worst and Ed comes to a decision

Ed tells Clarrie that he’s spoken to George about his behaviour towards the bus driver. George has been very mature and has decided to apologise next time he sees the driver. He’s also agreed to help with the cider pressing, though Ed’s had no luck sourcing a new press. Ed gives Clarrie a lift home from the dairy and offers her an apology for being so snappy of late. He knows she’s only trying to help, but he thinks Will needs her support more than he does. Ed wonders if it’s time he found his own place to live.
Justin’s concerned that his bid for the abattoir is going to fall short and asks Lilian if she will invest. She says she wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole and hopes Justin’s bid is unsuccessful; Borsetshire needs an abattoir more than it needs office spaces.  At The Bull, David fills Lilian in on their plans for Jill’s birthday celebration. He makes himself scarce when Vince Casey arrives, crowing about his bid. Justin and David are livid to discover Vince’s bid is successful. Vince brags about some inside information he’s acquired. Lilian is certain Vince knows Justin wanted to turn the abattoir into offices. If word gets out, a lot of people will be furious with Justin – including her.

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