Justin hatches a plot, and Alice sees potential.

Despite feeling nervous Alice enjoys watching the racehorses train on the gallops, with Harry. He’s pleased when she refers to their outing as a date and doesn’t register an issue when she tells him she doesn’t really drink, before they go in to lunch. Harry’s impressed by Alice’s obvious commitment to horses. She fills him in on her childhood experiences in the Pony Club, but points out that Harry’s the one with a glittering career in three-day eventing. He steers the conversation back to Alice, who reveals she has a daughter, Martha, who she co-parents with her ex. Harry is keen to see Alice’s pictures of Martha, laughing along at the ones of her with her face covered in food. Alice thanks Harry for an amazing day before he asks if she’s free for dinner on Wednesday. Flattered by how keen he is, Alice agrees to the date.
Lilian’s trying her best to put Justin off making a bid through BL for the Grange Farm land. Justin appears to take Lilian at her word, that it would be too risky an investment. But when he returns from The Bull later he says that Adam mentioned Lilian’s intention to purchase the land herself. Lilian comes clean about her plans to expand the Stables, before Justin outlines his objections as a fellow stakeholder. Justin then reveals Tom and Natasha’s plans to bid for the land too, before suggesting he and Lilian team up to beat off the opposition, then fight it out between themselves.

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