Fallon raises a difficult subject and there’s good news for Pip

Whilst no more coins have been found, Ruth’s surprised to hear that Pip would give up farming if they got rich from the discovery of a hoard on Brookfield land. Pip’s struggling with Rosie’s behaviour at the moment. Ruth outlines her idea of expanding the dairy herd which Pip thinks is a great idea. Meanwhile, Pip is confident that they have secured funding towards their rewilding project. Rex’s urgent meeting with Tom has gone well too. They plan to celebrate but Pip gets a text from Toby who’s having a bad time with Rosie and needs Pip’s help.   
Fallon and Harrison have an afternoon off together. Harrison notices Fallon’s not her usual self. Eventually Fallon admits that the news of Alice’s pregnancy has made her realise that she never wants kids herself. Fallon’s keen to know how Harrison feels. He’s sanguine. He thought they might have children one day but he’ll get over it. Fallon is apologetic but Harrison tells her to stop – they both love one another and that’s all that matters. Later that night, Fallon tells Harrison she would understand if he wanted to leave her to find someone who did want kids. He assures her he has all that he wants with her, but she makes him promise to give it some more real thought.

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