The Archers: 16/01/2015

BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/01/2015

It is double trouble for Rob and Lilian, but Fallon and Burns are on a high.

Fallon and Harrison blissfully wake up together and stay warm in bed as it seems the heating's broken. Harrison impresses Fallon with an idea for a 1940s themed Valentines Night celebration. Mike and Vicky could run some dance classes.

Tony's happy to finally be moving from Birmingham to the Orthopaedic ward at Felpersham. Pat hopes to be back at work next week, which will free Helen up a bit. Helen opens up about problems at the shop. She also tells Pat about Rob's letter from the CMS. Helen worries about asking Rob to take the paternity test - he'll think she doesn't trust him. But Pat feels that it's the only way to be free of Jess.

Rob's outraged by another letter from the CMS. To prove that he's not the father, he will have to take the test. Helen carefully suggests that he should, to finally get Jess off their backs. But Rob refuses to dance to Jess's tune.

Pat calls round to to drop off a veg box and tell distracted Lilian about Tony. Lilian tells her that Matt's on a business trip. PC Burns checks on Lilian. She knows that Matt has done a runner and cleaned out their accounts. He must have planned it months ago. She's not giving up on Matt, though - she'll find him and they'll sort this out together.

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