Freddie makes a difficult call, and Alan grabs the bull by the horns.
Neil approaches Alan about the ring of bells for the sewage leak protest, and to his surprise Alan is enthusiastic. He thinks they should aim for a marathon ring of ten hours. It will call people to arms and encourage questions in people鈥檚 minds about climate change. Before Neil knows it they鈥檙e delivering flyers. Alan鈥檚 secured the support of most of the PCC in advance of their meeting tomorrow. Not yet official then, cautions Neil. Akram joins them and Neil explains they鈥檙e less anti-Borsetshire Water and more hoping to open a dialogue. Akram helps with the leaflet delivery; he鈥檚 right behind them on this.
Freddie thinks paying Rex will split the cricket team. Lily assures him they won鈥檛 know, but Freddie still thinks it鈥檚 against the spirit of the game. He asks her if she鈥檚 run the plan past Lynda, and Lily says she intends to. Later Freddie鈥檚 dismayed to hear that Vince has approved the payment, and more so that he wants not one but two players to be paid. Lily assures Freddie that this makes it a policy rather than favouritism, but Freddie鈥檚 still worried. Two members being paid doubles the chances of the news getting out. Lily sweeps on, announcing she鈥檚 found a new team member. She鈥檚 played for Felpersham uni and she鈥檚 brilliant. Freddie points out that for every new member, someone else will have to be dropped. Lily agrees this will be a difficult conversation, but a team has to evolve. The difficult conversation falls to Freddie himself, and he makes a call.
