Lynda takes drastic action and Josh struggles with recent events

Lynda and Lilian bicker about The Bull, and Lynda promises that the ReBulls resolve is stronger than ever. Lilian counters that the success of their events means they can survive without a few locals.

Ben’s been taking liberties with Josh’s car, driving his friends all over the county and leaving take away packets everywhere. Before Ben drives Bess to her competition, Josh gives him strict instructions for how to look after the car.

Freddie encounters Lynda outside The B at Ambridge. He tries to explain how complicated his situation is, but Lynda doesn’t want to know. Jolene comes outside to see what the fuss is about and discovers that Lynda has chained herself to the pub sign. Jolene’s confident Lynda will give up in a couple of hours, but Lynda tells her not to underestimate her. 

Freddie and Josh joke about how they’ve become the black sheep of the family. Josh just wants to turn back time, but Freddie explains that he felt the same way. Josh just has to shut out the gossip and ignore the stares – he’ll soon realise who his real friends are.

Lynda gets honks of support from passing cars, and Jolene and Lilian are surprised to discover that she’s still outside when they close the pub for the evening. She bids them goodnight and promises to see them bright and early in the morning.

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