BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/01/2016

On Plough Sunday, Ed is feeling nervous. And Helen is getting pampered.

It's Plough Sunday - Ed nervously speaks at St Stephens as part of the event. Shula chats with Alan and Clarrie about Brookfield's new direction and the challenges for dairy farmers. In his sermon, Alan talks of new enterprises. There's talk of a couple of escaped pigs and Clarrie also mentions that they've got some weaners at Grange Farm - she'll make sure everything's clean for when Oliver and Caroline return. 
Rob's angry with Ian after he refused to be godfather Rob and Helen's baby. Helen says there's no rush to find someone else and Rob can see that Ian has upset her. Helen pleads with Rob not to say anything to Ian. Rob becomes critical of Helen and her choice of friends, getting defensive when Helen points out that Rob should not have said anything to Ian about Adam and Charlie. Helen goes off for her pamper day at Grey Gables, struggling to relax. There she chats with Kirsty - they haven't had a catch up for a while. Kirsty's surprised to learn that Helen's not driving. Against Rob's wishes (he'd planned Helen's travel), Kirsty drives Helen home. Kirsty reminds Helen that she can talk to her about anything. When Kirsty has gone, Rob points out to Helen that surely she and Kirsty are hardly bosom pals any more.

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