Radio Times: Kirsty hits the slopes.

Characters: Alistair, Brenda, David, Kirsty, Neil, Sam, Tom

• Emma is wondering about when she could go back to work but finding child care on her wages will be hard. Roy thinks she should push for a rise. That seems to be his role at the moment – acting as business consultant. He’s been helping out Tom and Kirsty blurts out he’s lost the supermarket contract.
• Alistair tries to drum some responsibility into the cricket team at nets. David and Alistair manage some half hearted conversation. Neil and Susan have bought Emma a course of driving lessons for her birthday – the perfect present for a new Mum.
• Kirsty comes across Sam playing with his mountain board. He persuades her to have a go. She has a great time and there seems to be a spark with Sam.
• Neil finally catches up with Tom. He’s really impressed with how busy he is. Must show that Tom Archer sausages are going places.
• Brenda sympathises with Tom although he stresses she must keep it secret. She wants to be supportive though. He feels he’s been a total idiot. He may have a chance with a chain of gastro pubs – he’s got an appointment on Friday. After Brenda’s pep talk he’s beginning to get a good feeling about the meeting.
