Kate makes her presence felt and Neil questions his future

Lilian and Lynda have an altercation in the village shop over Lynda’s petition against The Bull’s name change.
Neil’s feeling glum after a hard day at work with Hannah. He feels he’s let Susan down in having his pay cut. Susan insists she’s still proud of Neil and doesn’t care about the money. His happiness is what matters to her, and whether he decides to take the new job or quit, she’ll support him. Just as they are about to sit down to eat, Lynda arrives with her petition. Susan is uncomfortable about signing it now that Emma works there, but Neil admits that they hate the new name. He signs it and persuades Susan to follow suit. After all, no customers at The Bull means no work for Emma.
Kate tries to interest Peggy in her plans for Xander’s naming ceremony, but with a broken boiler, Peggy’s too cold to concentrate. Kate makes arrangements to stay with Jakob until it’s fixed, and Peggy decides to stay at the Dower House, as long as she can bring Hilda and the kittens. Kate makes her presence felt as soon as she arrives at Jakob’s, having brought half her belongings and the contents of Peggy’s fridge. Kate insists she’s far too tired to cook and leaves Jakob to navigate her vegan cookery book.

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