BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/04/2011

Caroline's in a bad mood. Meanwhile Lynda has received some exciting news.

Elizabeth doesn't want to think about her birthday but is looking forward to Roy starting his new role in a month's time. She's got some of her energy back but admits to feeling bad about Caroline. Elizabeth visits Caroline to apologise. The atmosphere is tense, but both acknowledge that they can be professional about the situation. 

David is frustrated that the milk yield figures are under target. Ruth tries to assure him that it's not his fault. Jill wonders about inviting Josh to the Beekeepers' Spring Convention next weekend. David's sure he'd love it. They also discuss Elizabeth's birthday. David suggests they ask Shula for advice. She'll remember what they did for her birthday after Mark died.

Lynda's pleased that the peregrines seem to have found a safer place on the church roof to lay their eggs. She also proudly tells Jill that her garden has been chosen for one of the special features on Gardeners' Question Time. However, together with fighting for her seat in the parish council elections, she won't have time to help with the catering for Gardeners' Question Time. Jill's been inundated with offers to help with the catering, so Lynda's contribution won't be missed.

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