The walls close in on Lee, and Eddie hatches a plan.

Lynda asks Fallon to be a fete committee member, but Fallon brushes her off saying she’s got too much on.  When Eddie mentions that Fallon was a bit harsh with Lynda, Fallon counters that Eddie should do it himself then.  Later Lynda asks Fallon if she’s ok and Fallon opens up about Harrison wanting to change his job for ‘something in nature’.  Lynda’s supportive saying that Robert changed direction mid-career, sparking their move to Ambridge.  Fallon and Harrison need to work through it together and have time for other things… like the fete committee.  Fallon agrees to join.  Later Eddie tells Fallon he’s thinking of joining the committee too.
Lee’s frosty with Tom, explaining that he’s on ‘restricted duties’ at work because he might be charged with assault and could be a risk to patients.  Later Tom tells Tony how bad he feels about involving Lee in the visit to Rob.  He had no idea that it would impact on Lee’s job.   Tony points out that it also led to Helen going to see Rob.  Tony thinks they should all just leave it to the lawyers.  
Henry has fun digging up beetroot with Tom and Tony, and they have a competition to see who can pull up the biggest.  They reminisce about Tom and Helen as children.  When Tom drops Henry off, he tries to apologise to Lee, asking if it would help if he explained things to Lee’s manager.  But Lee’s dismissive saying there’s nothing Tom can do.  He’s done enough already.

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