Eddie has a trick up his sleeve, and tension rises at Beechwood.

Lee’s relieved to hear that he can start back at work tomorrow but hopes that Syksey doesn’t poke around to find out about why he’s been absent.  When Lee wonders why Rob’s asked to meet him, Helen says that all that matters is that Lee keeps his cool.  Whatever game Rob’s playing, they won’t let him win.

Eddie’s gathered the family together for lunch to discuss ideas for the fete.  When Ed questions why Eddie’s cooking, Eddie explains it’s because he needs Clarrie to keep knitting ferrets.  They went down a storm at the ‘Ferrety Fun’ stall, so Eddie plans to sell them again at the Village Fete.

Ed tells Eddie that things have settled down at Home Farm now Stella’s back in charge, with the new disc drill due to arrive on Wednesday.  Chat turns to Tracy and Jazzer’s wedding next week, and Ed has some ideas for his best man’s speech.  When he worries that his speech might be too similar to Jim’s, Eddie suggests keeping it short and jokey; Jim’s will be full of long words and Latin quotations.

Eddie outlines his plan to take the family along to the fete committee meeting tomorrow, so that they will be the majority.  They can then stage a takeover and take the fete into the twenty-first century.  But Eddie thinks Lynda will need a distraction, while the Grundy family turn the fete into Ferret Fiesta.  When Will asks Eddie what, Eddie says he can’t answer that, but he’s working on 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.
