BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 13/07/2011

Jennifer doesn't like what she hears and Neil offers his thoughts.

As Chris leaves the cottage, too busy to have lunch with disappointed Alice, Jennifer arrives asking about the situation with Ronnie's business. Alice admits that for a few years money will be tighter than they'd expected.

While helping with George's scarecrow, Chris asks Neil about taking another loan, but is disappointed when his dad agrees with Alice in thinking it would be too big a risk. He is short with Alice when she comes to tell him about her plan to get a summer job, but she believes that they can survive these hard times together.

After chatting to Will, Brian enlists Adam to help him make a scarecrow for Ruairi. Jennifer then explains Alice's money woes to him. Brian convinces her that Alice and Chris are in fact in a relatively secure position and will get by. A bit of pressure will be character forming.

Will and George are looking for boots for their scarecrow when George lets slip that Emma is also making a troll (with Neil's help), and that hers has a goat. Surprised Will decides to raise his game and make three goats, much to George's delight.

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