Pip jumps in with both feet and Natasha has a brainwave

Tom’s shattered and Natasha thinks he should think about asking George back to help on the farm.  She’s spoken to Emma who thinks George is genuinely sorry about the video. And Emma and Will have both had words with him.  Tom thinks it’s up to Helen.  They talk about Helen’s solicitor who’s clarified that Rob didn’t break his non-molestation order at the Leisure Centre, because he was in a public space when Helen saw him. Talk turns to the Tearoom and Natasha says it’s been an eye-opener helping there.  She doesn’t think Fallon’s making the most of its potential.  Natasha outlines things she would do to improve it, including using more of Bridge Farm’s products.  Natasha doesn’t want to barge in and start telling Fallon how to run her business, but the Tearoom is an integral part of the wider Bridge Farm offer.  It’s food for thought.
Toby tells Pip he’s enjoyed the last few days in Ambridge.  They bump into Stella and without checking with Pip, Toby invites Stella to a barbecue with them and Rex.  Toby reminisces about his early days in Ambridge working with Rex and how he and Pip first got together.  The wine is flowing and Toby and Pip banter about their relationship.  Before heading off, Stella hugs Pip and says she guesses they’ve put the last couple of weeks behind them.  Toby stays behind to put Rosie to bed.  Later Pip and Toby relax on the sofa and things become flirtatious.  They end up in a passionate embrace.

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