BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 01/05/2013

Collecting the last of her things from 1, The Green, Brenda is surprised that Tom's there. He'd forgotten Pip was milking this morning. Hurrying off, she wishes Tom luck for his meeting with the supermarket buyer.

Kirsty sympathises with Tom about the break-up. She is encouraging when Tom's unenthusiastic about his meeting, even though he's been asked back for a tasting along with other similar products. She wishes him luck.

Matt asks Brenda how Lilian's been recently. Brenda admits she's been a bit touchy, especially when Brenda picked up Lilian's ringing phone. Matt appears to be concerned that Lilian is overworked. They need to look after her.

In a call to Paul, anxious Lilian admits lying to Matt about why she was at the races. They need to be more careful. The call is interrupted by Charlie arriving at Paul's house. When Charlie angrily says that he and Grace are sick of their Dad's behaviour, Paul says he just wants them to stay away from their Mum's wedding. If they don't, they won't get a share of his business. But Charlie doesn't want Paul's money and storms off.

Paul leaves Lilian a terse message telling her to meet up at the flat next Thursday. No excuses this time.

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