It’s an emotional day for Chris and Rex has his spirts lifted

Rex calls Neil for advice after he loses a piglet from a new litter. They meet up and Rex is down about all the effort he’s putting into his business when he could be winding it up soon. Neil explains he’s been in Rex’s position more than once over his lifetime. He then lifts Rex’s spirits with the news that a nearby council farm is coming available. Neil thinks he’s got a good chance even though the competition will be stiff. Their conversation turns to Berrow Farm. Neil’s starting to create the outdoor sow unit which is due to launch in spring next year. With this on the horizon, things seem to be better between him and Hannah. 
Alice and Chris get their cover story straight as they prepare to leave for Alice’s residential detox. Everyone thinks she’s taking a break because she’s finding the pregnancy hard. Before they leave, Alice tries to back out but Chris insists she goes – they can’t do this on their own. They arrive at the residential detox location and Chris asks if he can talk to Emma about where Alice will really be for the next two weeks. Alice flatly refuses – she couldn’t bear Emma knowing this secret. Chris will just have to find another way of making up with his sister. As they part, Chris tells Alice he’s never loved her more, which Alice doesn’t feel she deserves.

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