BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/05/2015

It is a sunny day for the cricket, and Jennifer has a mystery to solve.

The Ambridge cricket team is playing Paxley today. Emma's happy to be joining Nic and the kids for a picnic, as Will plays cricket. Emma's also looking forward to shopping for a dress for Clarrie with kind Caroline.

Tom's really into his cricket. Ed approves of getting some new young blood into the team, but Joe worries about the number of older hands possibly being dropped.
As she and David investigate the flood, Jennifer reports that she's had a call from a nervous Berrow Farm worker called Stefan. Stefan seems to have something important to tell them. They agree to meet him. 

Will tells exasperated Nic that she can't change his mind about being Ed's best man. He is however looking forward to the Great Bird Race - although Robert seems rather obsessed.
Emma's excited about her wedding - this time next week she and Ed will be married. Ed doubts that Will will make it along to his stag do. Ed feels Emma is trying too hard to get Will and Ed to be best mates at the wedding. Joe's sad they can't put their differences behind them.

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