Robert and Lynda have their first B&B guests - the Horrocks. Lynda is determined that her guests should feel at home and be well looked after. Robert's worried that Lynda's over-zealous attention to the guests might put them off. She's already arranged an afternoon tea and plans to show Mrs Horrocks the letter she's written about her llamas, which should be published in Borsetshire Life this week.

Jennifer tells Peggy that she's hardly seen Alice, and she's still not speaking to her. Jennifer is dreading news about Ruairi getting out. Peggy reassures her that she will handle the gossip, but she must keep the lines of communication open with Alice. Peggy offers to tell Lilian and Tony about Ruairi; Jennifer's grateful. Lilian's immediately supportive but Tony's outraged at Lilian and Peggy's apparent acceptance of Brian's actions and expectations of Jennifer.

Brian's planning to go to Ireland to see Ruairi and bring back some of his things. Sad Jennifer finds a torn-up father's day card from Alice in the bin. Brian tells her he'll do whatever it takes to put things right. He can't help feeling hurt that none of his children have acknowledged father's day.

Laurie Taylor explores what takes place in the informal space of corridors.

Rachel Hurdy discusses her research into ‘the powers of corridors’ with Laurie Taylor. What actually goes on in these informal spaces? What do the walls really hear?

CORRIDORS
Rachel Hurdley, Research Associate at Cardiff University’s School of Social Sciences, talks about the findings of her latest research into what she calls ‘the power of corridors’.  Rachel conducted her research in the ‘Glamorgan’ building in Cardiff, it is a very grand former local authority building now housing two university departments and has a lot of corridors along which many academics have their offices.  She followed people during their working days to find out what takes place informally in corridors, and the part they play in the life of an institution. 

MARGARET MEAD & MARY DOUGLAS
Laurie Taylor is joined by Professor Adam Kuper to discuss the varied lives and contrasting ideas of two renowned anthropologists of the twentieth century, Margaret Mead and Mary Douglas.
