• Jill and Phil are finalising their packing for the big trip. It’s almost time to be off to the airport. Jill can do without worrying about Shula over Alistair’s father too. But that’s not stopping her – even though she can’t help! Finally they get them through security and away for 6 whole weeks around the world.
• Matt is certainly impressed with Annabel at the Borchester Land meeting. Brian seems to have spotted her too…. But Matt is the one who gets left alone with her for a drink – just the two of them. He manages to find out she is husbandless and childless and he seems to forget to mention Lilian himself.
• Eddie has a go at Brian over grain prices. He seems to blame him single handedly for putting the prices up. Brian tries to convince him it’s not his fault but Eddie isn’t convinced.
