BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 02/02/2011

David is in positive mood and Caroline shares an important secret.

Grey Gables are hosting a tea for the 25th anniversary of the Borsetshire branch of the Osteoporosis Society on 16th February. They're being joined by the society's National President - Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall. It's announced on the Prince of Wales' website today so now that it's official Caroline asks Ian to make sure the tea is particularly special. Ian was planning to make his shortbread, but he worries it might look like he's being competitive with Duchy shortbread. 

Lynda's delighted by the news but isn't scheduled to work that day. She'll have to re-organise the rota.

Ruth reminds David that Pip has her driving test tomorrow. He'd promised to take her out for practice later. He'll try to get back in time. Ruth's grateful for Brian's help on the farm again. She doesn't know how she'd have coped without him. 

David gets back in good time, relieved that he's finally starting to see the wood for the trees at Lower Loxley. Ruth's pleased this means he'll spend more time at Brookfield but is surprised that David's already told Brian he won't be needed now - especially as lambing starts soon. David insists the pressure's off. He's here and they'll be fine.

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