Lily has concerns and Eddie has to think on his feet

Eddie drags Will along to Brookfield with a metal detector. Eddie’s sure there’s got to be more to find. While they’re there, they spot someone else with a detector. Eddie’s disgusted to find a group of people who tell him to get off their patch. He labels them ‘night hawkers’. Eddie reports to Ruth the carload of people with metal detectors, who’d said the location was on an online forum. Ruth calls Ben immediately.  

At Lily’s request, Johnny suggests her idea for the Christmas show to Freddie without letting on that it came from her. Freddie isn’t too keen but acknowledges that it would be easier than a full-scale panto. Later, Freddie asks Johnny about the show he saw that inspired his suggestion. Johnny tries to stall, but Freddie has already figured out that Lily put him up to it. The siblings bicker but ultimately Freddie comes out on top. He’s already put the concept for the show (Lily’s idea) to Elizabeth and Glen and they’ve approved it. What’s more he’s got a plan to make it Covid-secure. The only downside is that he won’t have a budget. But Lynda always managed with only voluntary effort so, how hard can it be?

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