BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/01/2016

Pip fancies a little trip, and Jazzer pines for home.

Pip keenly gives Matthew a hand at work and they flirt with each other. Matt mentions a couple of Dorset farmers he knows and offers to set up a visit - perhaps Pip could join him to see their milking set up etc. Matthew worries about asking for time off though, but Pip talks to Ruth who lets them both go. 
At the Bull, Jazzer complains to Jim about Pat's healthy cooking (and small portions). Jim has bigger frustrations - he can't get back home to Greenacres yet. The original company doing the work went bust and the new lot say it'll be ready by Easter - with any luck. Jim and Jazzer can't wait to be home again. Jazzer's thinking about whether to help with the village hall renovation. Kenton's avoiding the kitchen, as their current temporary agency chef doesn't seem to see eye to eye with Jolene. Kenton asks Jazzer and Jim to host Burns Night at the Bull on 25th January.
Brian's full of reassuring words for Charlie, who he feels mustn't let Berrow's problems hold him back. Brian hopes Charlie will come back one day when he has had time to enjoy some new success. Charlie talks positively about Adam - Brian says it's a shame Charlie won't be around to influence Adam. Yes, says Charlie, but some things just aren't meant to be.

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