Pip finds herself unstuck and Alice takes a step in the right direction

Alice visits Jazzer to look at Tracy’s boiler and works out what’s wrong.  She suggests an engineer who can fix it at no cost; he owes her a favour.  Initially frosty, Jazzer warms when Alice admits to being lonely when Martha’s not around.   Alice invites Jazzer to Martha’s birthday party to apologise for what she’s done and when jelly and ice cream are mentioned, he agrees to come!
Pip helps Rex pack up the bungalow.  She shares her frustration about her parents dragging their heels over the herd expansion.  Rex infuriates Pip when he says his new location is a secret but confirms it’s in Ambridge - she’ll find out where at his housewarming.  He hopes that after everything that’s happened, things will fall into place once he’s moved, including finding a replacement for Phoebe – though hopefully it’s not Kate.  Pip says she and Rosie will really miss him, but he guarantees Rosie will love his new home.
Pip’s grumpy when Stella drops by on the off chance to look around the bungalow and says it’s already promised it to someone else.  After disappointed Stella’s gone, Rex cross-examines Pip and she admits she made it up;  she doesn’t like Stella.  Pip’s wrong footed when Ruth rings Rex to arrange for Stella to look around, and later Pip admits that Stella’s already been and she told her the bungalow was let.  Ruth makes Pip ring Stella straight away to tell her it’s still very much available and Pip will be giving her a full tour.

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