Will a dinner party leave a bitter taste?

Will a dinner party leave a bitter taste? Brian and Stella join forces.

Jazzer supports Neil in persuading Tracy to agree to go for a meal at Ambridge View, even though he’s not looking forward to the icy atmosphere between Tracy and Susan. When they arrive, they are both surprised at Neil’s polite chit-chat. When Susan appears, Jazzer compliments her, but Tracy won’t join in. After they’ve eaten, Susan is determined to explain herself; she thinks Jazzer is a very lucky man to be marrying her sister. She adds she can’t think of better news than Tracy and Jazzer’s engagement.
Brian looks over a report Stella has prepared for a meeting with the BL Board. He’s still not keen on Stella going to an upcoming farm tech show, but she is adamant she’ll be there. After the meeting, Brian congratulates Stella on staying in control in front of a jittery BL Board. He then apologises for not being supportive of the farm tech show. Stella is clear she’s worked too hard to not be trusted or respected. 
Susan and Tracy go for a walk and Tracy thanks her sister for a lovely evening. Susan repeats that she’s really sorry for her initial reaction to Tracy and Jazzer’s engagement. Tracy says it’s forgotten and they move on to wedding preparations – the hen do, the best man, the dress. Tracy says she’d be happy to be married in a bin bag as long as everyone she loves is there. Susan’s certain that Tracy and Jazzer will be very happy together.

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