Ruth tries to keep things low key and Kate offers her support

David recounts Vince’s request for a discount for Stephanie’s wedding to Elizabeth. Elizabeth has little sympathy. She tells him to make the most of it. If it’s a success it could lead to more bookings.  David’s surprised to hear Elizabeth knows about the coins that have been found at Brookfield. She’s heard from Freddie who heard from Ben. On her way out of Brookfield Elizabeth meets Vince. They recognise one another from Borchester business meetings.
Vince chats to Ruth and David about the rescheduling of Stephanie’s wedding and then enquiries about Elizabeth and Lower Loxley. After Vince has gone, Ruth reads an update from Ben on the coins which he’s taken to the museum in Borchester to be identified – they are quite rare but no confirmation on value yet. Felpersham University archaeology students are due to arrive this week. They put Ben’s enthusiasm for the find down to Evie, a girl that he fancies. 
Kate brings round a box of goodies to Alice and advises her on how to have a good pregnancy. Kate questions Alice’s diet as she looks awful. Kate asks what other people have been making of Alice’s news. Alice explains she’s not heard from Emma because of a falling out over Alice thinking Ed fancied her. Then Alice gets teary; she’s worried her body isn’t good enough for the baby. Kate reassures her that all will be well.

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