The Archers

Justin has scathing feedback for Brad on his promotional video about beavers, and advises some changes. But he’s horrified to learn that Brad has already sent the video to Innes, Justin’s client, and tells Brad he won’t be getting any more work. But later Justin eats his words, having heard back from his friend. Innes was delighted with the video, so Justin buys Brad a drink and wants him to do another job, for Borchester Land. Brad worries about missing more Uni, but Justin guilt trips him by talking about protecting George’s business for him. At the Bull, Kenton and Jolene speculate on Fallon’s business plans, before seeing Joy who’s meeting Mick for dinner. Keen to plant a seed in Joy’s head, and to get Mick’s van off of their car park, they talk warmly about what a catch Mick is, and drop hints about spending more time together and perhaps living together. Mick admits to Joy his van is not ideal, with pub noise and general discomfort. Concerned Joy invites Mick to move in with her. He’s grateful but declines, pointing out that she’d just be taking pity on him. He’ll get the van fixed and then they should discuss it again, on equal terms. Joy admires him for this, as they declare their love for each other. Jolene and Kenton notice how serious they seem over in the alcove, and are delighted when Mick mentions Joy’s offer - but quickly disappointed when Mick tells them he turned Joy down. But after an awkward moment, Mick’s assured he can stay in his van in the car park.
