BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/09/2014

Hayley has something to say, and Lynda brings some news.

Josh enjoys some driving instruction from David. Feeding calves later, David jokes that Josh is doing a better job at that. Josh admits he's nervous about his first lesson tomorrow.

Leonie's still deciding on 'guide parents' for the baby. Lilian will be saying a few words at the naming ceremony. Keen not to be outdone, Lynda's choosing a poem that should be equally memorable.

Leonie has chosen a new name: Mungo. It isn't much of an improvement for harassed Lynda. She admits to Jim she'll struggle to hold her tongue.

Lynda receives a worrying text about the new road plans, which she shares with David and Josh. It seems Route B would be the cheapest option. This will have a lot of influence on the planners, so they'll have to redouble their campaigning efforts.

Devastated and angry, Hayley confronts Elizabeth. She hands back the locket, knowing what it means. After grilling Elizabeth for details, Hayley asks how Elizabeth could destroy her whole world. Doesn't she have enough already, without taking Hayley's husband? 

Hayley has it out with Roy, who tells her he still loves her. But Hayley feels that Roy must love Elizabeth, or at least that she's not good enough for him. Where do we go from here, asks Roy. Hayley has no 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.
