BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 06/07/2011

Pip starts networking, while Ed and Emma have second thoughts.

It's show time in Borsetshire! Eddie helps Pip with the lambs before adjourning to the beer tent. Pip's delighted when her lambs win but wants to run some figures past a farm management company before celebrating.

David congratulates Pip. She tells him that the farm management people think they've done well to get costs down, but they're not that strong on the output side. Pip's happy with today but wishes David showed the same enthusiasm. Spencer reminds her that David was busy meeting and greeting as NFU Chair. 

Enjoying the show with Keira, Emma warns Ed not to get too attached to a swanky tractor. Emma suggests Alice as godmother, but Ed tells Emma about the trouble Alice and Chris got into in Southampton. They see some decorative scarecrows and can't wait to see how excited George will be when they surprise him with them.

Ed makes it clear to Oliver how grateful he is for doing the milking. He asks Oliver if he'd like to take it on twice a week. Oliver's happy to be useful again, especially as Caroline is so busy. He doesn't want payment either, he'll do it as a friend. Ed's touched and delighted.

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