There are home truths at the Bull, and Harrison has his hands full.

Tony’s enjoying a few drinks at The Bull to celebrate his birthday and chats to David, who appears very at home behind the bar. David pays for Tony’s round, as a thank you for the help he gave Pip with the early calf. Kenton seems happy that David and Jolene have everything under control. However, David appears to be going a bit too far when he starts checking how much Tony’s had to drink, then asks Kenton if he should get rid of him. Kenton points out that in a pub it’s OK for people to get a little merry. This doesn’t stop David suggesting Tony might like to drink some water. Tony declines politely, insisting that as it’s his birthday he is going to enjoy himself.

Harrison chats to his boss, Inspector Norris, at the police station. She reminds him he’s not allowed to get involved in the investigation into the dog attack on Kenton, but does tell him the investigation team is doing a very thorough job. Harrison meanwhile, must content himself with going to deal with a man outside a bar in Felpersham, who is threatening to take off his underpants if they don’t let him in. Harrison arrives to find the man in a drunken state, urinating against a wall. It only gets worse when the man turns around and it’s Harry. Harrison persuades Harry to put his shirt back on, stop dancing and think about going home. But when Harry insists he’ll drive himself, Harrison has no choice but to arrest him.

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