Revenge is sweet for Adam, and Tony’s on the ropes.

Clarrie tells Susan Tony wants a word and fears he’s going to read them the riot act about the incident with Hilda. When they tell Adam he suggests they’re going to have to face the music together. Unfortunately Tony’s dressing down proves even worse than feared. The incident with Hilda was bad enough, but what made it worse was being the result of a prank. Their actions have placed the family business in jeopardy. Susan and Clarrie should have known better, but as for Adam, Pat and Tony have no choice but to let him go! Susan and Clarrie are shocked and racked with guilt, before Adam reveals Tony was just pretending – he hasn’t been sacked. But the wind-up was so successful Susan and Clarrie don’t believe him. Adam then calls Tony, who confirms that Adam still has a job.
At Brookfield Pip tells Ruth she’s been up since five am and hasn’t had a break. They agree it’s a struggle coping, now David’s helping out at The Bull. Later, Tony arrives asking to borrow a telehandler, but Pip has her hands full with an early calf coming. He offers to help and they successfully deliver a new addition to the herd. Tony tells Pip a call he took is just a bit of fun back at Bridge Farm, before adding ruefully that they have seen their share of drama recently, thanks to Hilda. Pip suggests he take the cat to Denise’s Kitten Clinic. They admire the new calf with Ruth before agreeing it’s things like this that make all the hard work of farming worthwhile.

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