BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 30/08/2015

Kenton is dumbfounded, and Helen needs some fresh air.

On a trip to the Country Park, Helen's rather subdued and glad to get out of the stuffy house, as Rob encourages Henry to play vigorously - he'll certainly get the odd grazed knee at school, which he starts on Thursday. Helen shares a dairy manager job advert she has seen for Rob, but he's not interested. Trying to find his feet after his time at Berrow, Rob also wants to help as the Bridge Farm shop and café get up and running. Rob wonders what has been bothering Helen - she says it's just Henry starting school - so much to think about.

Pip helps David with calving and feels guilty about Matthew the milker, now that she has jacked in her new job and put him out of a job. They'll have to honour his contact and pay him. The main thing, says David, is that Pip has made the right decision. Perhaps she should try the company again and see if there's still a job. 

Jolene's glad to see Kenton still making an effort at the pub, as he hangs some flowers. Kenton won't be going to Pip's 'farewell' dinner tomorrow - Pip's like David, another case of last minute changes of heart. Kenton's angry to learn that Jill's having to move out of Brookfield. He's steering clear of Brookfield - as Jill wouldn't like to see him hurt David.

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