BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 26/05/2014

Helen and Rob have news for Peggy. Meanwhile, Fallon is planning a party.

Fallon is selling upcycled items at a car boot sale. Alice is impressed. Contracted by Robert, Fallon is organising a Mad Hatter's tea party, for Lynda's birthday. She asks Alice to be 'Alice'.

Rob pampers Helen. He's keen to visit Peggy as a nice gesture. Rob wants Helen to relax more - she's overworked. Tony calls a family meeting but doesn't want to involve Rob. This is family business. Helen is upset. Rob tries to hide his resentment and persuades Helen to go and represent them both. Peggy thinks Tony is being short-sighted but says she and Helen will have the cool heads.

Rob tells Helen and Peggy about Tom asking his advice. Peggy is glad that Tom had someone to turn to. Helen is touched when she learns that Rob found the new job for Tom. Helen can't help telling Peggy about her engagement to Rob. Peggy is delighted and promises to keep it to herself.

Alice gives Peggy a lift to Bridge Farm to have a chat with Tony. She offers to help out financially but Tony stiffly turns her down. Peggy says the offer is there, if he changes his mind before the meeting on Friday. Peggy is hurt when Tony says she's not needed at the meeting.

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