BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 25/05/2015

It is the annual Single Wicket, and Charlie needs information.

Charlie interviews the staff at Berrow Farm staff but no one seems to know anything about the culvert being deliberately blocked. Charlie's annoyed that he can't talk to Stefan, and criticises Rob for releasing Stefan to spend time with his family. Charlie's unimpressed when Rob dismisses the 'wild goose chase' - reminding Rob he nearly died in that culvert. Rob's keen to be informed when someone can actually substantiate the anonymous claim about a Berrow Farm employee interfering with the culvert. 

Kenton's critical of David and Ruth for avoiding being at the single wicket today - it's clearly just to avoid him.

It's the Single Wicket competition today and Kenton's doing the commentary. Toby feels confident. Bert's umpiring and Tony's scoring. Jolene thinks Toby might be a hit with the ladies.
Kenton looks forward to the FA cup final on Saturday - hopefully some good business at the Bull. But the big screen is on the blink.

Rob beats Adam in the first semi- final. Toby beats Tom in the other.
In a close final, Rob defeats Toby who's gracious in defeat. Toby thought he'd lose to Kate and talks about what fun it would be to 'take her on'. Handing a trophy full of beer to Rob, Toby leads the drinking - to much cheering.

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