Will Phoebe get the better of Justin Elliott?

Will Phoebe get the better of Justin Elliott? Tracy offers new blood to the cricket team.

Tracy bombards Jolene with details of the training session she’s organised for the cricket team. Jolene’s wise that Tracy may be trying to put her off but holds her own and asks if Tracy will be giving up smoking. At Tracy’s request, Lee pushes everyone hard at the cricket training session. Tracy adds to the pressure by shouting through a megaphone. Harrison and Jolene both perform badly. After Lee’s fitness session, Tracy moves everyone onto fielding practice.  

Roman gives the cricket training a miss because he’s working on his latest script idea. Afterwards, while Tracy and Harrison argue how to run the cricket team, Roman mentions his cricketing experience. Harrison says he can’t join the team because he doesn’t live in Ambridge. Tracy thinks she can do a better job than Chris at running cricket practice but Harrison won’t hear anymore. Roman tells Tracy she has to do as Harrison says as he is the captain, unless there’s a coup d’etat.

Phoebe meets Justin at the barns they’d like to develop. Justin thinks her, Rex and Pip’s plan for the barns to be used for ethical business start-ups and flexible office hire is unrealistic. Phoebe insists they’ve done their research but Justin’s not willing to invest.

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