BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 04/05/2015

It is May Day on the village green, and David helps out.

It's May Day and the barbecue's going on The Green. Lynda wants today to do everyone proud. Kenton's keen to make some cash for the sake of the Bull. Meanwhile, David's collecting for the anti-Route B fighting fund.
Rex Fairbrother asks David for a chat about his geese farming plans. He points out their loose family connection. David shares this with Jill as they remember Robin Fairbrother, who had an affair with Elizabeth. Jill and Shula also discuss Robin.
Mia's crowned May Queen but is upset when she loses her crown. It seems the Button girls are the culprits as it's later found stuffed in a hedge.
David helps stubborn Kenton on the burger stall. David's keen to put their differences behind them, but Kenton's not interested. Kenton does let out some of his feelings. He's angry with David for letting him spend money he thought he'd be coming into from the Brookfield sale - and then pulling the plug. 
Jill has a thought - is there some way they can help Kenton and stop the pub going under?
Shula's disappointed when Richard Locke has to cancel their dinner tomorrow.
Lynda's pleased that today was such a triumph. In changing times, it's so important for a village to keep its traditions going.

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