What would your father do if he found out that you were in trouble at school? Tonight on Radio 4's Songbirds (FM 97.6), you can listen to the sixth episode of The Joker, in which Billy's father receives a letter from his son's school.
In last week's Songbirds episode, Roco had persuaded Billy to take the blame for a practical joke he had played on the geography teacher. But when Billy got home, he found that his father had received a letter from the headmaster. Billy decided to tell his father the truth - that it was Roco who had played the trick with the exploding chalk. In tonight's episode, Billy and his father make an unexpected visit to Roco's apartment. You can also hear what happens on Carol's 'joke date' with Roco.
Below are the opening scenes of tonight's episode for you to read as you listen.
Billy's father: Is that you, Billy?
Billy: Yes.
Father: Come here, I've got something to say to you.
Billy: What?
