Lilian has a brainwave and Josh returns to trouble at Brookfield

Neil’s distressed to discover there’s been more tail-biting amongst his pigs. One of the pigs has been so badly bitten he has to put it down. Sensing a lack of support from Hannah, he loses his cool and shouts at her. Hannah reckons Neil needs to rethink his management style.
Josh is finally back from his holiday in Bangkok. Rex is thankful he didn’t have to produce any paperwork for the police. Ruth is still at her wits’ end and insists Josh goes to the police station to explain himself. Later Josh reports that the police meeting went very smoothly. The so-called mate who borrowed the digger has been charged and Josh will have his digger back soon.
Rex fills Josh in on his progress with the pigs. He’s really bonded with them and is feeling remorse at having to take them to slaughter. He recommends Rex to talk to Neil about his concerns.
Lilian wasn’t impressed with the way Jolene and Kenton bickered about The Bull’s name change the whole way through the interview for Bella’s replacement. Hannah arrives at The Bull to discuss moving into One, The Green with Johnny. Lilian and Kenton rope her into their debate about the significance of changing a pub’s name, but Hannah doesn’t get what the fuss is about. Lilian’s had her thinking cap on and has come up with a new name. She can’t wait for it to be announced.

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