BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 03/05/2013

Nic comes up with an idea, and Pat puts Lynda straight.

Lynda's edgy when Eddie mentions the pasture that's been fenced off. He says it's a waste because the llamas could graze there. She's even more anxious when Alistair arrives with Wolfgang's post-mortem results. But there's huge relief when the results show there was no bovine TB.

Clarrie's glad that the PCC are going to raise money to repair the church organ and that Ed and Jazzer have completed their shearing course ready to start work. When Eddie suggests staying with Rosie in Great Yarmouth for her birthday, Clarrie says she can't take time off with the way things are at Bridge Farm.

Later when Eddie asks Nic for birthday ideas, she says she's come up with a plan.

Tom's new ready meals packaging arrives but Pat finds it odd not seeing 'organic' printed on it. Pat's concerned when Clarrie mentions that Lynda's heard a rumour that they're selling Bridge Farm and retiring. She rings Lynda, who apologises. She heard from Robert, who heard from Bert, who got it from The Bull. Lynda's relieved to hear there's no truth in the rumour. She'll put everyone straight.

Alistair tests the Bridge Farm herd for TB, but they'll need to wait until Monday to see if there are any reactors - so fingers crossed until then.

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