Anglia TV reporter Alastair Yates says that the congregation are concerned that the clairvoyant is dabbling in the occult and a form of devil worship, and are refusing to visit the Aldiss shop. Lynda Mills explains that the Baptist Church seek to uphold God’s truth and want the best for Fakenham aiming towards the Kingdom of God through righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The reporter suggests the clairvoyancy is a lot of fun. She answers that it is still dangerous to move into any area of the occult. More scenes of the tarot reading. Tim Aldiss says he is very sorry this has happened, but he had not been aware that this would upset the Baptist Church which includes some of his good customers. The event has generally gone down well. Sonia Appleton reflects on her reading with its suggestion she might be overspending and is cheered by the prospect of a holiday. Stephen Alexandre says he is a Christian and the tarot readings are responsible reality, not magic, a science we are learning about. Exterior of Aldiss shop with market stalls outside.
