BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/09/2018

Contemporary drama in a rural setting. Johnny offers some home truths and Jolene tries to make peace.

Johnny tries to drag Freddie to the cricket ‘do’, but Freddie’s feeling depressed about his sentencing. Johnny advises him to at least shave and get a haircut, but Freddie just wants to be left alone. Later, Alistair gives him the same advice, framed more tactfully, and even offers to miss the cricket ‘do’ if Freddie wants to talk. 

Kenton hasn’t backed down and apologised, so the cricket ‘do’ goes ahead at the Tea Room. Harrison reminds Jolene that, as a member of the team, she’s invited, and asks if Kenton might join her. Jolene thinks it’s pretty unlikely. The team tries to come up with reasons for their lack of success this season. Harrison admits he hasn’t been entirely focussed – the wedding was a priority. When Jolene arrives she lightens the mood with a little present for Harrison – a Spice Girls CD! She starts a sing-along.

Freddie finally decides to go out, although he isn’t keen on the cricket party. Johnny meets him outside the Tea Room and sees that he’s tidied up his hair and is even considering ditching his eyebrow piercing. Freddie’s decided he needs to face up to everything he’s done – breaking up the family, not being allowed home… Johnny insists that it’s not all his fault but Freddie takes full responsibility.
