BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 28/07/2011

The news gets worse for Pat, and Christopher has his fingers crossed.

Will and George return from a walk. George excitedly tells Nic about the fox that has killed some birds, and Will's plans to shoot it. Later that afternoon, Will and Nic take George, Mia and Jake to see the pheasants. They are impressed by George's interest in the birds and how countrified Jake and Mia are becoming.

It's Alice and Chris's wedding anniversary, but Chris is nervous about his meeting with the bank. He's worried that his plan is unrealistic rather than ambitious, and Alice tries to reassure him. When he returns he reveals that the bank rejected his loan application, but suggested that a smaller loan might be possible if they were to rent the premises from Ronnie. Chris determines to ask him.

Bridge Farm is headline news as the source of the E coli outbreak. Helen has had to fend off questions in the shop, with people still returning their products despite being given the all clear. Pat's deeply concerned about nine year old Milly Robson, who is in intensive care. If she doesn't make a full recovery her parents may sue. Pat's desperate to get the dairy up and running again, but a court case could set them back years.

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