BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/04/2015

Helen cannot believe her ears, and the birds are in full voice.

Jim's recording his own observations about flood damage on a dictaphone. There are still al couple families on Glebelands he hasn't caught up with. 

Robert and Jim's birding rivalry continues - Robert has seen his first swallow of the summer and hopes to spot a few birds on Tom's wetland. Jim's smug when Robert makes a mistake.

Tony buys his bull and Tom and Tony look to the future - with the memory of the bull attack sill in Tony's mind.
Tony won't be umpiring for the cricket team this season. Johnny's on the team though.
Helen's keen to set up shop with Tom - she just needs to speak to Pat and Tony. Helen's shocked when Tom reveals what Rob said about trying for a baby. She confronts Rob who's desperately apologetic. He explains himself, expressing how much he needs Helen, and she softens. 

Helen asks Tom to give her a couple of days to think things over about the farm shop. Tom asks if Helen is changing her mind. Helen admits she doesn't know what to think at the moment.

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