Three’s not a crowd for Ben, and Jazzer has an idea.

Oliver discovers Tracy hasn’t been as good as her word; her family still don’t know she’s lost her job at the chicken factory. Jazzer remarks it’s good to see Tracy happier; he’s pleased she and Oliver are getting on again. Jazzer’s eager to give Chelsea and Brad a big celebration and Alistair has to remind him that it’s in fact his party. He quizzes Alistair on plans for music food and decorations. Later, Jazzer calls a busy Alistair at work with a few suggestions of how to make the party more appealing, Alistair struggles to keep his cool. 

Josh is helping Shula with her move. Shula susses that Josh is avoiding David, who also needed a hand back at Brookfield but is a harsher taskmaster. Josh is confident that good boy Ben will help their dad. Shula’s impressed that despite the teasing Josh has been there for Ben recently. She unexpectedly offers Josh first refusal on her house while she’s away – and Ben too if he wants. Both are overwhelmed and excited. Josh is less than impressed when Ben mentions how good it will be with Beth staying over too. She’s still not Josh’s favourite person. He tells Shula they’d love to move in.  She’s delighted to think of her nephews in the house; it’s been a while since the place has had the energy of young voices in it. Later Ben tries to persuade Josh to let Beth move in – it would help with the rent. But Josh is having none of it.

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