BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 09/03/2010

Paul's pleased to see Lilian at the funeral. There aren't many mourners there as his mother didn't have many friends. He introduces Lilian to his children as a family friend. Lilian thinks they might have got the impression that she and Paul were an item. Lilian admits to Paul she didn't tell Matt that she'd be at the funeral. He's got enough on his plate with the confiscation hearing next week. Matt's worried they'll take everything.

Tony's less than enthusiastic to hear that Helen's had another clinic appointment. Pat wishes he'd be more supportive. He thinks Helen's living in a dream world. She's never coped well with stress and babies are very demanding.

Helen catches the tail end of the argument but she refuses to let Tony's negativity get to her. Helen's had to go through some vigorous tests. The clinic think her body mass index is a little low and have advised her to put on half a stone. A few years ago Helen would have freaked out at the idea but not any more.

Tony confides in Tom about Helen. He's so pleased that Tom and Brenda are doing things the right way, marrying first before starting a family.

Episode written by Mary Cutler.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
