BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/11/2011

It's a stressful day for Susan and feelings are running high at The Bull.

It's Ivy Horrobin's funeral. Villagers and family gather for the service. There are dismissive comments on the Horrobin family, with the exception of Kylie who impresses and intrigues everyone. It seems she's met the whole family except for Clive, her father. 

Clive and Tracy talk about Ivy. They think Bert will be better once the funeral's over and done with. Tracy feels guilty considering everything that Ivy did for them. Clive asks Susan about the girl she was talking to earlier: Kylie. He says he'll talk to her after the service. 

Once at The Bull, Tracy and Clive hit the bar rather hard. Clive decides that this is the right time to introduce himself to Kylie as her dad. Kylie's sad and confused, asking why he never, in 22 years, made an effort to communicate with her. The final straw comes when Clive, in a drunken and desperate attempt to win her over, offers Kylie Ivy's rings. Susan confronts Clive, insinuating that he stole the rings or sweet-talked Bert into giving them to him. 

Angry Susan chases Clive away. He's done with his family, and vows never to come back. Distraught Kylie begs to go home, breaking down in Susan's arms.

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