There’s a shock for Hannah, and Eddie turns the screw.

Will visits Hannah with the news that he, George and Poppy have decided to live at No.1 The Green.  Hannah’s upset, thinking it’s no coincidence that George blames her for being sacked and now she’s being kicked out.  Later, George tells Hannah it was his idea and warns her to keep the place spotless, because when he moves in he’ll be inspecting every corner.  Hannah retorts that she sees right through him and soon everyone else will too.  Later, Eddie reminds Will that being a landlord doesn’t sit well with the Grundys and should be left to the Matt Crawfords of the world.  
The Grundys construct a makeshift marquee for the fete out of some scrap poles and old canvas, to save hiring a marquee.  Brad’s confused when Will invites him for tea at Grange Farm, assuming it’s a family get-together now that he’s Mia’s boyfriend.  He’s wrong-footed when he discovers Mia’s not there and the real reason is to ask Brad to help with the village fete.
Will helps George with his bale stacking practice and they’re pleased with George’s progress.  George is in a celebratory mood, but Will feels guilty for chucking Hannah out.  George is reassuring, saying that Hannah was fine about it all when he’d chatted to her earlier.  George reckons it could be a positive thing for Hannah because she might want to move nearer to her mum and have a closer relationship with her.  Just like he and Will are doing by moving into No.1.  So really, everyone’s a winner.

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