Last night's Gamblers Anonymous meeting has left Alistair's head buzzing. He tells Shula about a new member of the group. After two years, Alistair feels ready to show someone else the way. The building officer wants the footings for Willow Farm dug deeper, which Roy reckons is half a day's work. Eddie's got another job to go to this afternoon but Roy's offer to up the rate does the trick. Eddie gets to work but soon digs into the side of an old well, bang in line with the footings. Eddie tells Roy he'll need to talk to Jason. It's going to have to be dug out and filled in properly. Ed and Emma have still had no luck in finding somewhere to live, and now Ed's time seems to be taken up in planning the farm open day. Alistair's doing the latest TB test, and suggests Ed tries to get a free plug on Radio Borsetshire. Ed agrees it's worth a phone call, and is delighted to be offered a live interview on the drive-time show next week. It's just the kind of publicity they need. Ed can't wait to tell Oliver. Episode written by Simon Frith.
