Eddie resists a role reversal.

Jamie and Josh have just got back from football practice and are discussing what Villa match they'd like to go to. They'd never get tickets for Wembley, much as they'd like to, but wish they could get a job to earn some money. Josh answers Pip's phone, and as Pip struggles to get it off him, Josh laughs and tells Jamie it's a boy called Jude.

Ruth tells David that Neil's decided to stand as Chair for the Parish Council. David's delighted but wonders how Lynda's going to take it. When he learns about Pip's phone call, he also wonders about Jude.

Eddie's hoping for some extra shifts with lambing coming up but David can't justify it. Eddie's worried about his lack of work and knows he'll never be able to afford a new van. He's got to give Baggy his van back on Sunday, and is sick of putting Clarrie through all this hardship but Clarrie knows he's doing his best. Will's offered to look round for a good deal on a van but Eddie knows they can't afford it, even if he finds one. Clarrie suggests they borrow some money off Will but Eddie refuses to grovel to his own son.
