BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 28/07/2020

Tony makes a nostalgic discovery and things are looking up for Joy.

Tony bumps his head in the attic as he tries to sort out what’s stored up there at Pat’s request. He finds a Flying Scotsman toy train which was John’s. He sets it up but something seems to be wrong with its electrics. Pat thinks Henry should have it but Tony’s worried it’ll get damaged. Tony looks through old photo albums to place when the train was a gift for John. Tony decides the train should go to Johnny – it’s his birthday on Saturday after all. 

Tony asks Johnny to deliver an extra veg box to Joy. Johnny’s relieved to take a break from weeding. He’d love a holiday, the money he was saving for a hair transplant could fund it but he can’t see he’ll get away anytime soon. He’s been getting compliments on his shaved head and thinks he should have done it sooner. Now, he’d like a better car but will need more money than what he’s already saved. After hearing his horoscope from Joy, Johnny takes up Freddie’s suggestion and spends £50 on scratch cards. None of them come up good. Johnny’s not keen on the model railway Tony wants to show him.
