There’s concern for Brian while Eddie finds life a drag.

Alice drops in on Brian who hasn’t got dressed and is watching TV. They discuss the news and then Alice asks Brian if he’s ok. Brian reluctantly explains that he’s had a tightening in his chest since the weekend. Alice postpones her hack with Harry to sit with Brian, who guesses Alice has something else on her mind. Alice admits she’s wondering whether it’s too soon to introduce Harry to Martha. Brian tells her to stop over-thinking it and just ask Harry if he feels ready for it. Alice agrees to do that, but only if Brian makes an appointment with his GP.

Brad’s still stressed about working out who’s the Longest Drinker for The Bull’s competition. Added to that Mia’s asked him to find a model for the ReNew Fashion Show. Chelsea says Brad just needs to learn to say 'no' and reckons that Mia will think Brad’s really assertive if he gets Eddie Grundy on the catwalk.

Ed thinks Adam’s suggestion of the cricket field might work, although he couldn’t get hold of Grey Gables to ask if it would be alright. Brad appears and tries to convince Eddie to be a model at The ReNew Fashion Show. Eddie refuses until Chelsea arrives demanding that Eddie gets changed ready for a catwalk practice. Eddie gets into role and is convinced to put on a pair of heels, until Brad and Chelsea start laughing, and he realises he’s been had. Ed appears and asks for Brad’s help tomorrow. Brad reluctantly agrees and Chelsea wonders what’s happened to Brad being more assertive.

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