BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/04/2012

The family waits anxiously. Meanwhile Ian is in need of support.

Usha's pleased to see Alan, but he's concerned that she seems distracted. She's just about to tell him about the night she bumped into Carl when they're interrupted by a call from Ruth, giving them the news about Adam. Ruth's worried about David; it's echoes of Nigel. Usha asks if it could really be that serious for Adam. Ruth says it's hard to tell until he wakes up - if he wakes up. 
The police have interviewed David, and he tells Ruth he's identified the men who were in the van.
Ian's talking to unconscious Adam in the hope that it'll help. He and Jennifer share a moment. She's been through something similar with Brian in the past. Ian says they've told him Adam doesn't need surgery, so surely he'll wake up soon. 
Brian's kicking himself for not having been at the farm yesterday. Ian consoles him. He couldn't have done anything to stop it. Ian confides to Alan that if Adam doesn't wake up he doesn't know what he's going to do. Alan volunteers to sit with Adam while Ian gets some rest. Ian poignantly tells Adam that it's time he started waking up. When Ian gets back, he wants Adam awake and being as grumpy as ever.

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