BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 28/08/2014

Henry gets boisterous, and there is a baby shower in Ambridge.

Leonie throws her baby shower, with Lynda and Lilian the cooing grandparents. Lynda's still uneasy about the name, and Lilian is squeamish dealing with a dirty nappy.

Rob jokes to Helen about the name Mowgli. Helen's donating Henry's old clothes. Emma also donates spare blankets. Peggy has knitted a baby bonnet. Lynda points out it's a perfect match for Lilian's matinee jacket - almost identical in fact. Lilian makes her escape.

Emma admires Leonie's signed t-shirt from the Pet Shop Boys. Lynda says Elizabeth seems to be suffering - not quite herself. Emma gossips about Wayne getting arrested. Awkward Harrison's going to quit the Midnight Walkers. It's a shame it seems to be off between Fallon and Burns.

Lynda gives Leonie a horoscope for the baby, hinting that certain names bring good luck. Leonie sees through this and gets upset with Lynda.

Rob's annoyed when Helen is late, leaving him on his own at the baby shower. Helen had to deal with a situation. Henry hit another child at nursery. Helen feels better after talking to Emma, who remembers similar problems with her own kids. Helen warmly tells Rob he's the best role model for Henry - strong, kind, sensitive.

Jess phones Rob. She has something to tell him that she's certain he'll want to hear...

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