• Shula and Alistair are off to the Olympics to see the show jumping and just about to leave for the station when Reg rings. Bunty has had another fall so she can’t go. So Jamie has got her ticket and has gone off with Alistair and Daniel.

They are going to have to think about sheltered housing if they can’t cope.
• Pip is back from her holidays. She surprises Ruth by commenting that Keith must be terrified now the police have arrested the other people involved.
