The bunting trickster is revealed and Philip receives a surprising offer

Alice comes home early to look after Chris. Chris discovers the captain of Farndale has caught his cricket incident on camera and is going to put it on the Farndale website. Later, Alice shows Harrison the footage. Harrison says he’ll speak to the Farndale captain, as captain of Ambridge. Harrison shows Chris and Alice a letter he’s been sent. It’s a ransom note for the bunting.
Kirsty and Philip discuss their plans for an eco-garden at their new house. Philip tells Kirsty his news: his buyers want him out the house in a couple of weeks. Kirsty asks Philip to move in with her, she’ll square it with Roy.
Jazzer has finally spent some of Tom’s money. He shows Jim what he’s bought: it’s a tarantula. She’s called Webster and will live in a tank in the living room. 
Harrison follows the instructions on the ransom note to meet at the Hide. He comes across Jim, and joins him bird watching. Harrison plays along. Back at Greenacres, Jim tells Jazzer his ransom note worked like a dream. 
Harrison meets Chris at The Bull and tells him about the bird-watching: it was one of the most boring evenings of his life. But it was worth it, now he knows Jim was behind the ransom note. Harrison will make sure he doesn’t get away with it.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
