Brenda steps into the breach.
Tony and Tom are preparing for the arrival of the new weaners when Brenda reminds Tom they are off to the cinema that evening. Tom would prefer a quiet night in as he's up to his eyes with his organic pork enterprise and the new pig man is proving to be well away with the fairies.
Brian's been roped in by Jennifer to do some DIY at Home Farm in preparation for Peggy's arrival, but is not too happy to hear that Jennifer is preparing for Jack's arrival too.
Brian claims Tony and Pat got themselves a bargain for Bridge Farm's freehold. Tony said they'd been pushed to their absolute limit and Matt knows it. The mortgage repayments are going to be astronomical!
Having had a sneaky peek at the team chase course, Lilian confesses to Jennifer that she's relieved she hadn't been picked for the team. She might appreciate a bit of moral support when collecting Peggy from hospital. Jennifer reminds her that they want as little fuss as possible, as Peggy's such a handful at the moment. They'll just have to get through it all somehow.
