BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/04/2010

Kenton and Jim get into party mode, and Josh makes some plans for the future.

Ed's concerned that since they expanded the herd, costs have gone up. Mike's confident that Harry will ensure the returns will rise. Harry has suggested writing a blog for the website to build a picture of life on the milk round. Ed remains sceptical, and reiterates that the bull calves are costing time and money. In compromise, Mike suggests that Ed shows Vicky the cost of keeping the calves.

Jim hassles Kenton about plans for his party. He gives Kenton sketches of Roman women's hairstyles to distribute, to inspire the female guests. Kenton starts with Ruth, who agrees the hairstyles look more like tea-cosies and lampshades. Ruth thinks Jim is bonkers.

Ruth praises Josh for his penance work on the farm. He promises never to graffiti again. Ruth asks if he can see himself working on the farm as a career. Josh sees no point making plans as things always change. Pip always used to help on the farm but now she doesn't do anything. But he has made one decision about his future: he's going to have lots of girlfriends, and not be like Pip and Jude. Getting serious just makes trouble.

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