BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 07/02/2014

Tom tries to break the news gently. Meanwhile Jill does something new.

Kirsty and Tom have visited Cathridge Hall as a possible reception venue. Pat feels Helen is punishing her by keeping Henry away. Tony learns of Rob inheriting one of Jack's dinner jackets from Peggy - now Tony feels he's not even worthy of Jack's cast offs.

Kenton tells Jill about the double event at the Bull for Valentines - he feels Jolene's Singles' Night will be a shambles.

Tony presses Tom about Cathridge Hall. The venue's not available, but it's clear Tom's looking for an alternative to the farm. Tom reveals that he and Kirsty are looking for a house away from the farm. Tony's stunned.

Jill comes into the Bull for a drink and Kenton senses she's vulnerable. Tony reminds Jill of the burglary and says there's no shame in admitting she has been affected by it.

Helen tells Tom she couldn't sleep last night - it was strange being in the cottage alone. Reunited with Rob, she tells him she didn't sleep well. She suggests that they get a new bed, as theirs is old and rather saggy. But Rob says there's no need to replace it.

Pat finds Tony outside in the yard. It seems that all they have left is each other - and a big empty silence.

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