Susan starts a rumour and Robert reluctantly concedes

Lynda and Robert are admiring the fruits of their labours in the garden ahead of their entry in the Flower and Produce Show. Lynda wonders whether they’ve been bold enough. It’s art, and needs a coherent vision. They must follow their instincts, and subvert the form. Her desire for more trellis in order to achieve this puzzles and dismays Robert, but he reluctantly goes with it.

Philip isn’t enamoured with judgemental Jennifer, who’d slagged him off after the explosion. Kirsty explains Jennifer regrets this, and is very grateful to Gavin for rescuing Alice. Kirsty notes Gavin seems more sensitive these days. She tries to cheer up Philip by pointing out how their spot on Susan’s show has changed things for them. As new work comes in, he concedes she might be right.
Later, Philip makes a call from his van, trying to offload Blake on to one of his contacts.

Susan and Kirsty agree that Gavin’s come a long way. Kirsty’s proud of him. Then Susan shares that she overheard him on the phone; something about trouble with the horses. She hopes he doesn’t have a gambling problem. Kirsty’s sure Susan’s mistaken. Susan persists, terrier-like. Kirsty shuts her down politely, but asks her not to mention it to anyone else. Of course, agrees Susan. She knows Kirsty will keep an eye on Gavin, and won’t let such a nice young man go astray.

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