BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 11/07/2011

Spencer tries to keep things together and Emma asks a favour.

Susan and Clarrie discuss the christening preparations in the post office, although Susan is concerned to hear that Alf might be coming. Emma is also worrying about the party, but Neil convinces her that everything is under control and they can borrow chairs from the village hall. She takes the opportunity to ask him to help with George's scarecrow (she is determined that he should win). Neil begins work on it later that afternoon, much to Susan's amusement.

Over the phone, Spencer explains Steve's sentence to Pip. He'll have to go to various meetings and maybe get counselling too. Their father is going to make him work on the farm all summer. Pip thinks that Spencer needs to get out, so he invites her over to help him moved the combine.

Spencer asks Pip about David's reaction to her research. He encourages Pip not to give up on persuading her dad to leave Hassett Hills, but is interrupted by a call from his mum who is upset. Spencer is really angry at the trouble Steve has caused and the damage it has done to his family's reputation. Pip reminds him that she still loves him just the same.

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