It’s all hands to the pump at Bridge Farm.

It’s all hands to the pump at Bridge Farm, while George finds himself on the spot

At the Bridge Farm Open Day Pat is eager to impress Adil; he’s a potential valued customer. At the last minute she’s called away and has to postpone giving Adil a tour. George steps in. He wants to impress Adil with the film he’s made of Tom. But the QR code won’t work. Having memorised Tom’s words, George rises to Adil’s challenge of giving the talk himself. After George has talked to a small crowd about Bridge Farm produce, Adil congratulates him. George asks Adil about his job role. Adil warns a sceptical George that while ambition can get you some way, it’s hard work that matters most. 
A steady stream of interested visitors have been asking lots of questions through the new dairy window. Susan finds a private moment to ask Adam about his search for Paddy Redmond. Adam says Brian has been very good about him seeking out Paddy. Just as another family arrives at the window, something goes wrong with the cheese-making machinery. Susan takes a look while Adam entertains the visitors with information about yoghurt and ice-cream making. Helen is grateful to Susan for fixing the machine.
Later Helen, Pat, Susan and George reflect on the busy day. It’s been hard work but it’s been a success. Helen mentions giving Susan proper recognition for saving the day. George becomes the focus of attention for overcoming the failed film. Pat’s confident that their new attractions and a decent spring is going to put Bridge Farm on the map.

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