BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 07/10/2014

Pat cannot believe her ears. Meanwhile, Fallon has mixed feelings.

Lynda offers Fallon the lead in her production of the Christmas show: Rumplestiltskin. She could cast PC Burns too. Alice points out they're not an item. Sensitive but undeterred, Lynda then asks Alice if she's interested. Can Chris sing?
At a club, Fallon's determined to forget about Harrison Burns. She and Alice discuss Roy and the horrible rumours about him stealing from Lower Loxley. They also lament the absence of 'homebird' Helen as a drinking buddy. Fallon is miffed to spot Burns out with another woman. Harrison comes over and Alice makes small talk. Fallon realises he's with his ex, Justine.
Helen's happy that Henry is feeling better. She tells Pat that she'll have more time to mother him now, as she's giving up work. Pat is astonished and unhappy. She rants to Tony about all the work feminists did and wonders at her own effectiveness as a mother. Tony points out that part of that goal was to give women a right to choose - and this is Helen's choice. But Pat suspects it's Rob's doing, aware that he's too clever to make it obvious. Pat feels heartbroken that Helen genuinely believes this is her own 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.
