BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 13/01/2014

Susan strikes it lucky. Meanwhile Helen fights her corner.

Holly's been through the bins, putting herself in Susan's bad books again. She threatens to put the puppy into a kennel in the garden...until she makes a discovery amongst the rubbish.

Ed's sharing with Neil his concerns about paranoid George taking Holly to Will's, when Susan rushes over to them. The lottery ticket she unearthed from the bin is a winner - £4500! It must have been thrown out, and Holly found it again. She ponders on how best to spend the money. A bit for Emma, Christopher and her dad... But when she gets to Tracy, Neil stops her. This has to be Susan's money, to spend on herself. Susan considers the prospect of an exotic holiday with glee. Holly's the heroine of the hour.

Pat feels used. She can't believe Helen's lied so much. It's all so extreme, and this time it involves Henry too. The atmosphere when Helen arrives is tense. Conversation's difficult, and turns into confrontation. Helen accuses her parents of having Rob down as a scheming adulterer. She defends him and their chance to be happy.

Pat feels Helen's hopelessly besotted. If Rob can dump his own wife, what's to stop him doing it to Helen?

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