Jim is surprised by an unexpected visitor

Jim is surprised by an unexpected visitor and Philip puts his foot in it.

Kirsty and Philip are feeling loved up following their decision to marry in secret. Emma arrives at their house and congratulates them on their plans for a long engagement. But what she really wants to know is whether Philip will attend the opening ceremony of the renovated playground. Kirsty invites her inside. Emma explains that the opening will be covered in the newspaper, and they’d like pictures of Philip and Gavin – fame at last! Emma looks wistfully around their kitchen and Philip tactlessly offers her a tour of the house.
Fiona surprises Jim at Greenacres. She still has some time off work following her holiday, and she’d like to stay for a few days. She’s pleased to see Jim looking well, and offers her praise for how bravely he approached Harold’s funeral.
Josh is on edge after seeing Rex’s car at Brookfield. David reassures Josh that Rex is only there for a rewilding meeting. David is concerned about the state Philip’s team has left the yard in and hastily tries to tidy up ahead of Vince’s visit. There’s a lot riding on it, and they can guarantee Vince won’t make it easy for them.

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