BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 23/02/2011

Phoebe's got something on her mind and Jill comes to the rescue at Brookfield.

Brian's flight home from Paris is delayed, and Phoebe picks up Jennifer's anxiety about it. It's made worse when Brian comes home moaning about losing his boarding card and telling everyone there was a problem with an engine. Phoebe worries about what she would do coming home on her own from South Africa if there were problems with her flight. Kate makes light of it, telling Phoebe it's a really grown up thing to do. Kate would have loved to have done something like that when she was Phoebe's age. 
Ruth is stressed with David away in Scotland - and off the farm yet again. With lambing happening, it's all a bit much for her. Jill comes over to cope with the domestic side of things, and Ruth is really grateful. Pip helps out in the lambing shed, but really wants to go to a party. She tells Izzy she can't make it, but then David comes home and goes straight to work with the lambs. Pip is free to go. David promises Ruth he'll be around for the rest of the week.

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