BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 14/09/2014

Tony has plans for Johnny. Meanwhile, Hayley is grieving.

Roy finds Hayley sitting alone, away from their bed. Desperate to make things right, he offer s to sleep on the sofa, but Hayley points out it would give the wrong message to the girls.

Johnny wants to make the most of his last hours in Ambridge. He's keen to come out with Tony and the cattle and then help Neil with the pigs. But when Sharon arrives to collect him, he's nowhere to be seen.

When Johnny eventually returns from Grange Farm, Tony asks Sharon to consider letting Johnny stay and follow an apprenticeship in agriculture. Swayed by Johnny's enthusiasm, she goes to phone Eamon.

Hayley asks were things really that bad between them? Roy's 'boss and employer' affair seems such a cliché. Roy says it was a moment of madness - a fantasy. Hurt Hayley reminds Roy of his reality. They have two daughters to look after. Roy makes an effort to be a practical dad and apologises again to Hayley. He's already losing his job. He begs her not to take their relationship and their family away from him.

Hayley doesn't know how she can ever trust Roy again. It's over with Elizabeth, he says. It never really started. Hayley lets him put his arm round her and they share a moment.

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