Summary

Adam Preston sets out to hit a six in a proper cricket match despite a whole host of reasons why this is highly unlikely to happen. In this episode we learn the background to this 'impossible dream', discover the cricket club in the hamlet near where Adam lives and start to understand Adam's complicated and not altogether healthy relationship with competitive sport, with its foundations in a chequered school career.   We meet a huge Dutchman who encourages Adam to return, after almost thirty years, to the sport that he once found dull, humiliating and frustrating. Finally lured into a session at the nets, Adam starts wielding a bat and a ball once again - and is taken a significant step closer to tasting the glory that has always eluded him.
