Emma makes a big decision and Tom attempts to impress

Tony finds Tom at Bridge Farm baking a surprise cake for Natasha’s birthday. They discuss the secrets of a successful marriage. Tony admits that his marriage was rocky for a while with Pat’s focus on her activism, but focusing their energy on organic farming brought them back together. While they pick salad together, Tom explains to Tony Natasha’s plans to move her business to Ambridge. Tony wonders why she doesn’t move it all to Bridge Farm – they could build an extension on the back of the packhouse. Tom’s distressed when he realises he’s lost the ring Natasha gave him, it could be anywhere. Tony gives Tom an excuse to buy some time before he needs to fess up to Natasha. 
Philip’s despairing at Gavin, who’s rushed off to see Kelly thinking she wants to get back together with him. He’s left the lads unsupervised, so Philip now needs to cover that. Later, Philip explains that Kelly only wanted Gavin to move the rest of his belongings out the flat.
Emma calls on Ed’s help after George kicked a football through the window. Emma thanks him for buying all the furniture they’d got for the house. She suggests they start looking to the future. She thinks they need to consider getting a divorce; it’s for the best. Ed agrees to do whatever she needs.

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