BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/02/2015

David is on a quest, and Hayley makes a decision.

Hayley is back at Willow Farm to see Roy. He begs her to come back properly. But Hayley has thought long and hard. She's sorry, but she wants a divorce. 

David and Jill knock on a door in Grange Spinney and speak to a rather bemused lady called Janet. They ask desperately whether she bought a toy farm from the jumble sale. Janet finds the farm set she bought, but it's not the one David is looking for. David's ready to give up, but Jill says no way.

Susan reveals that Hilary Noakes threw out an old toy farm. David starts rummaging through the bins. Here it is! David recognizes several pieces, like the tractor that Kenton snapped the buckrake off. Best of all, there's a written tag: "Happy Birthday, David. From Mum and Dad with love". Phil never wrote the labels usually, so why this one, wonders David?

David tells Jill about hearing his dad, clearly, earlier. Nothing strange there, says Jill, who admits she hears Phil all the time. Jill knows that it's not just the toy farm that David is thinking about. David knows that he can't sell Brookfield. But he's left it so late. Nothing's impossible, says Jill. But how on earth is David going to tell Ruth?
