BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/04/2015

Pip's looking ahead, and Shula makes a call.

At tonight's barn dance Jolene's doing the calling. With Fallon's bunting it looks very 'Oklahoma'. Shula's keen for Alistair to make the effort and dance with her and won't let him cry off tonight.
Jolene tells David that Kenton isn't coming - and in all honesty she can understand why. Adam's wearing his cowboy shirt, which Ian enjoys. Charlie turns up, on his crutches and apparently with a date.
Charlie invites Adam to go to an open day on the subject of profiting from new technology. Adam's up for it. Ian apologises for butting in as he takes Adam away. Later, David gives a thank you speech - to all the volunteers and the whole community that everyone depends on. 
Adam chats to a rather drunk Pip. Pip feels frustrated as she talks to David. She's keen to plan for the future at Brookfield, but how can they with so many unknowns like the road? David tells her to be patient, but Pip doesn't want to be.
Shula phones Richard and they agree to meet for coffee next Wednesday afternoon.

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