BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 28/01/2020

Josh hits rock bottom and Johnny makes a lifestyle change.

Lee helps Johnny to load up his car with a mattress he’s ‘borrowing’ from Bridge Farm for his new room at 1, The Green. Johnny struggles under the weight of the mattress and reveals to Lee his plans to get fit by joining the Grey Gables gym. Lee’s been given a membership by Helen for Christmas, so he suggests they start training together.
Josh returns home from the police station to a frantic David and Ruth, who won’t let him dodge their questions. After a night in a cell he’s been released pending further investigation. He assures them he had no idea that the trailer was stolen. He admits that while he keeps records of sorts, he’s got pretty behind with his paperwork. They can’t believe Josh has been so careless when they’re so scrupulous with their own paperwork. With calving starting in the next few days, this couldn’t have come at a worse time. Josh admits he’s messed up big time. He’ll just have to wait and see if he’s charged.
Josh is wary when Johnny comes to visit him at Brookfield. Johnny assures him that he’s not there for a confrontation about Bella, he’s happy to move on if Josh is. Josh is moved when Johnny offers his support. Ruth and David rein in their anger when they see how distraught Josh is. They try to assure him he won’t be sent to prison, but he's scared. What if it’s too late?

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