BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/05/2015

Jim and Robert are up with the lark, and Joe confides in Emma.

Pip spots Rex at the temporary village shop at Bridge Farm and shares an idea about some farm land for he and Toby to rent. It's out towards Penny Hassett. Pip invites Rex to the Young Farmers' event and fishes to know about his and Toby's girlfriends. Rex points out that Toby may have more than one.
Joe tries to persuade Will to be Ed's best man, but Will says he just can't. Joe's upset and talks about it with Emma.
Jim and Robert's birding rivalry hots up during the great bird race, for which Lynda's keeping score. Roberts's suspicious and keen to know what Jim's secret weapon is. This turns out to be a woman called Molly, who gives Jim a heads up on a possible red kite spotting.
Vying for the same bird as Jim, and speculating on what exotic bird they might see, Robert leads Will to a sewage works where they also spot Jim. After much build up, the men are disappointed to watch a mere pheasant fly away.

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