BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/08/2011

Pip thinks she's made things worse. Meanwhile Jim does a good turn.

Jim helps Christine replace a sagging fence panel, and she gratefully invites him to stay for tea. They mull over how awful the situation is at Bridge Farm. Christine raises her suspicions surrounding the fact that Clarrie's no longer working in the dairy. Perhaps she had something to do with the infection. 

David and Ruth are out checking the ewes and lambs, talking about Josh's new interest in the history and running of Brookfield, and how worried Pip seems to be about her results. 

At lunchtime, while trying to cheer Pip up, Ruth discovers the negative things Elizabeth said about family farms. She is angered by what she considers to be interference on Elizabeth's part. Pip's worried she's created more trouble in what is already a tense situation, but Ruth assures her that it's ok. She realises that Pip is easily upset at the moment because she has a lot on her plate. Pip's frustrated that Adam still hasn't got back to her to chat through her marketing ideas. 

Jill brings Freddie and Lily over. Ruth and David enjoy the fact that the cousins can still play together despite all that's happened. Ruth credits both David and Elizabeth on that score.

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