Gavin finds himself in a lie and Eddie makes a deal

While on the look-out for trespassers, David spots someone hiding in a ditch. But it turns out to be Eddie who says he’s scouting for holly and mistletoe. Eddie points out the evidence of more digging on Brookfield land which infuriates David. David finds a metal detector in a hedge and Eddie feigns innocence. 
When he gets back home, Eddie tells Will that David’s handing the metal detector in to the police – it shouldn’t be traceable though as it’s really old. Eddie’s volunteered himself, Will and Ed to help keep a lookout at Brookfield for any more rogue detectorists. Will can’t believe it but Eddie’s sure it’ll lead to a reward for the Grundys. 
Philip forces Gavin to go to a Gamblers Anonymous meeting with Kirsty. Outside the meeting, Kirsty is sympathetic when Gavin shows that he’s not keen to go in. Gavin tells her that he just wants to be himself and that he doesn’t have a gambling problem… any more, he quickly adds. The pressure Philip’s business is under has made him stop and think. Kirsty’s happy for them just to head home but Gavin thinks his dad will blow a gasket. Kirsty thinks that maybe it’s time for Gavin to show Philip it’s his life.

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