BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 30/04/2014

Shula is shopping with Dan, and Eddie's making plans.

Susan and Jennifer talk cakes for May Day. Emma's making a Dalek and Fallon's busy promoting the event online. Jennifer won't be entering the cake bake as she can't even get to her tins at the moment. The builders start on the kitchen next week.

Jennifer innocently offers Susan her old kitchen units but Susan says no thanks to her cast offs. Emma's later annoyed with Susan for saying no. Emma could have done with those herself. Apologetic Susan points out that it could be a while yet before Emma and Ed have a place of their own.

Dan's preparing for army life and goes shopping for an ironing board with Shula. Dan tries on a smart suit and Shula is moved that he looks the spitting image of his blood father, Mark. Jennifer realises that Dan leaving is going to be an emotional wrench for Shula.

Eddie's in search of an idea for Clarrie's 60th birthday. Not to be outdone by Nic, Emma says she'll think of something. Neil finally comes up with the winning idea - a 1970s theme party. Eddie loves the idea.

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