Neil struggles to hold his tongue, and Helen faces a dilemma.

Kirsty gets ready for her holiday to Prague with Erik.  When Kirsty asks how Helen’s family took the news of Rob’s imminent death, Helen says they didn’t react. Helen’s unnerved by Miles comments about the impact of blocking Rob’s access to Jack.  She wonders what Jack will think when he’s older.  Does Jack have the right to see his biological father before Rob dies, or a right to be protected from him?  Kirsty says the latter and when Jack grows up, that’s exactly what Helen should tell him.  But Helen wishes she could get Miles’s words out of her head. Later she leaves a message for her solicitor to see if Rob’s illness changes anything legally.  
George practices his bale stacking challenge, but Will notices there’s something on his mind.  Later Will broaches Berrow saying that sometimes you have to draw a line under things.  George wonders how when Hannah’s bad-mouthing him.  She bullied him at Berrow.  When Will says he’ll have a word with Neil, George thinks he won’t listen with Hannah Neil’s ears.
Neil’s pleased by Jazzer’s return to work.  Jazzer explains he could’ve stayed off longer, but his loyalty to his workmates –  and Bert getting on his nerves – helped with the decision.  Later, Will tells Neil that George regrets what happened at Berrow.  When Will mentions Hannah’s bullying, Neil says George is lying.  Will’s surprised to hear George had several warnings.  Neil thinks if everyone’s concerned about George, they should sort George out, before he gets really out of hand.

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