BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 30/04/2019

Ed fears he is out of his depth and Fallon attempts some reverse psychology.

Jim cottons on that Fallon is desperate for staff at the Tearoom now Tyler’s left. But she laughs at his suggestion of Jazzer for the role. Jim admits he’d be pleased to get Jazzer out of the house, but also that Jazzer needs the cash, and the confidence boost.  Fallon agrees to ‘plead’ with Jazzer to work for her. After some initial resistance Fallon gets him to agree by a bit of reverse psychology. He’d be back on Bridge Farm turf, near Tom; that would be ok, wouldn’t it?
It’s not long before Fallon regrets her decision. If Jazzer’s not chatting he’s spilling things, but he thinks he’s a natural with all the banter. She tells Jim it’s not working. He urges her not to burst Jazzer’s bubble so soon.

Jazzer reminds Ed he’s still available for shearing. Ed’s sorry he hasn’t had time to look into any in Wales, but promises they still have Brookfield and a few others.

Tim wants Ed to do a job tonight. The pickup is just outside Birmingham, with the stuff to be dropped the other side of Felpersham. It’s a big job so they both go. The contact they meet is surly. Tim encourages Ed to load up quickly and quietly. He explains the contact, Rooney, is just wary of new guys. Ed discovers Tim carries a baseball bat in the van, for protection if things get nasty. But Ed has nothing to worry about. He’s done well tonight and he’s a natural.
