Tony makes an emotional discovery and David finds himself backed into a corner

Helen tells Tony about her plan to look into buying Kirsty and Philip’s house. She’s nervous about telling Pat. While covering the shop, Tony lets slip Helen’s plans to Joy. Joy’s thrilled Helen could be her new neighbour. Tony puts on a brave face about Helen and the boys leaving Bridge Farm but then gets emotional. Joy lends an understanding ear. 
David complains to Shula about Elizabeth encouraging David to be friendlier with Vince. Jill’s supporting Elizabeth’s point of view and after listening Shula agrees they have a point. Shula tells David she really needs to get hold of Alice as her horse needs the vet, but she can’t reach her. When she called at The Nest Chris was really grumpy. 
With Shula’s persuasion, David texts Vince about meeting up. Vince replies that it’s a great idea and suggests they make a night of it. 
Helen catches up with her dad after telling Pat her about her house buying plan. Her mum had seemed OK about it but it was clearly a shock. Tony offers to help Helen with the deposit. Helen’s grateful. She’s ready for an independent life again – though she acknowledges she may not quite have the hang of it yet when she asks Tony to look after the boys and give them their tea while she finishes in the dairy. Tony reassures her they will always be there for her.

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