Further details

Maggie is in need of some time alone so she heads to the pub to get a room and amend another 'radiogate' wrong. She learns the real story of landlord Brian, who is far from a 'gangster on-the-run'.

With no rooms free, Maggie stays with daughter-in-law Becka and they have a rare moment of bonding. Peter is working late at the school when his secretary Karen reveals her feelings towards him in a very unexpected way.

Alex visits Roxanna whilst she's babysitting Neil and Kelly's son Josh, and desperately tries to find the 'lottery' winnings' to pay off the lenders.
