BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 28/08/2015

Pip knows what she wants, and Pat is full of praise.

Lynda won't reveal her thoughts about the Opera performance - people will have to read 'Dylan Nells's' review in next Thursday's Echo. Jim's still talking in Italian. He has looked into the possibility of registering the village shop as a community asset - they could challenge Hazel's plans, and it could also scupper Bridge Farm. Lynda's not against Bridge Farm, but Jim thinks their shop is an act of gross cynicism. Jim challenges Pat, and Rob comes forward and has a go at Jim back - demonstratively protecting his new family.

Pip shocks David by revealing that she wants to leave her new job and come home. They debate the issue before pip admits that she has already resigned. 

Rob's buoyancy about last night contrasts with Helen's flatness - alone she cries to herself. Rob's keen for Helen to model her dress again tonight at the opera, but she says she's not up to going. They go along though and Rob wants to know what's wrong - he has worked hard to make these last two days special. Pat praises Rob to Helen - he's so attentive and makes a wonderful addition to the family.

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