BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 07/08/2012

Vicky can't resist. Meanwhile Jennifer is concerned with family matters.

Brian and Jennifer discuss Alice's limited job prospects and Jennifer's fear that Adam will stick to his guns and move away. She wants Brian to talk to him. 

Later, at Phoebe's welcome home party, Jennifer hears Brian telling Mike they can get someone else in to manage the arable, and is cross that he's talking to others about their business.

Roy's busy with the barbecue. He tells Phoebe not to let what happened spoil the good times she had in South Africa. Phoebe assures him she's fine. Vicky's desperate to tell everyone her news. When Jennifer remarks on her healthy glow, it's the excuse Vicky needs to divulge her secret. When she hints heavily about children keeping you young, Hayley offers to lend her Abbie but Phoebe jokingly suggests Vicky is pregnant. Vicky is quick to tell Mike that Phoebe has guessed, and that Brenda already knows, and launches into her announcement without Mike's backing. 

Roy assures Mike he's happy for them but Jennifer's not convinced it's what Mike wants. Mike still wishes Vicky had waited a little longer before they told people. Vicky's sure he must feel better, now it's out in the open.

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