BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 31/05/2012

Harry is press-ganged and Pip is feeling unsettled.

Harry helps Vicky display a replica crown on top of the decorated phone box.
Vicky tells Mike she feels too tired to help build the beacon. The couple wish they had more time together. Vicky suggests they will have the opportunity for more fun when Mike retires. Vicky recites a list of activities the couple can do together, while Mike is dreaming of more solitary pursuits - the kind that involve a giant television, a sports channel and a comfy chair.
Meanwhile, Pip returns home early to find David installing the security cameras. She is dismayed that David has transformed their home into a place where her every move is recorded. However Josh and Ben are having fun watching themselves back on screen. 
When Spencer arrives at Brookfield to meet Pip, David doesn't initially recognise him on the CCTV. He is rather nervous about the unidentified man until Pip recognises her boyfriend. Later, while building the beacon, Pip tells Spencer she believes there is a reason behind the extra security measures at Brookfield that David's not telling her about. She doesn't like it.
