Matt is not giving up on Lilian – but neither is Paul.

Radio Times: Lilian seeks time to think, and Lynda is determined to get an answer.

The Victorian paper mill at Gilbert’s Cross is the destination for Matt and Lilian; they find it full of character. Matt has a really good feeling about it; Lilian likes it too but is minded to tread carefully and needs time to think. She particularly likes the stunning views.
Lynda and David bump into one another and their frosty conversation about badgers indicates no common ground.
There’s bad news for Tom: Trevor is only prepared to do the milking one morning a week and Tony will do the afternoons at weekend. He reports this to Brenda but promises not to mention it when they go to the Thai restaurant in Borchester for a belated birthday treat this evening. Their conversation is interrupted by a visit from Rob, just to introduce himself. He would be interested to learn about Ambridge Organics Tom is only too pleased to share his plans. Rob appreciates the difficulties of a family farm but he escaped to USA and Canada; his elder brother runs the farm now.
On his way the village shop, Rob is ambushed by Lynda. She wants to know where he stands on the subject of a badger cull. Although the new dairy is not affected, he appreciates the threat that badger-borne TB poses to other farmers, so he feels a cull would be a good idea – not the response Lynda wanted.
Back home, after a relaxing bath, Lilian is about to be treated to a Matt special supper, but first the phone rings: a desperate Paul wants to meet up, just to talk, when he visits the area again next week.
