BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 11/01/2015

Rob has a lot on his mind, and Elizabeth feels positive.

Tomorrow is Plough Monday. Jill wonders whether Alan's heartfelt words about custodians of the land are a criticism of David and Ruth. Alan's grateful to the SAVE committee for sourcing the plough outside the church. SAVE will be using the plough for a photo opportunity.

Meanwhile, Jill has started on the task of clearing the Brookfield attic. Shula's pleased that Elizabeth is so optimistic. For the first time since Nigel died, Elizabeth has realized she is capable of caring about someone else and feels positive about the year ahead. 

Rob can't relax and phones Jess, outraged at the letter he has received from the Child Maintenance Service. Rob's more shocked when Jess tells him he is named on her son's birth certificate. Rob vehemently denies the child is his, so Jess tells him to prove it by taking a paternity test. But Rob refuses to be blackmailed.

Elizabeth spots Helen and Henry and points out how wonderful Rob is with Henry. Rob apologises to Helen for missing her day out with Henry and messing up dinner. According to Jess, Rob's Mother believes she is the child's grandmother. Helen supports Rob, who resolves to call the CMS and explain what Jess is doing, and that there's no way he's the father.

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