BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 22/02/2015

David and Ruth have a lot to discuss, and Phoebe has a difficult question.

Kate's keen for Phoebe to get involved in making her room her own at the cottage, but Phoebe's reluctant to commit.

There's more confusion for Phoebe when Hayley asks her to think about a move to Birmingham. Hayley and Roy are divorcing. Phoebe finds the news hard to accept. Hayley explains that after Roy betrayed her trust they just can't start again.

Ruth's shocked and angry at David's decision not to sell Brookfield. How could he change his mind so completely without talking it through? David tries in vain to explain how basic his need is to stay; how it was the same for his dad and granddad. Ruth accuses him of not taking her feelings into account. They argue in circles until David lets slip that Jill already knows about his decision. Ruth's furious that David spoke to his mum first. It's a nightmare. Their row is interrupted by Jill, announcing that Pip is home.

Pip reacts badly to the news and goes to her room. Ruth declares firmly that she'll talk to Pip later, and tackles Jill. Jill feels there's something fundamental at stake. She believes that leaving would kill David. He's an Archer, and the Archers belong at Brookfield. They always have, and they always will.

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