BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 04/02/2016

What a lovely surprise for Brian. Kate feels under pressure.

Brian promises not to be angry as Kate admits the problems with her business - she is behind with her plans to open properly and the expensive items she needs have broken the bank. Brian loses his cool as he realises she's tapping him for money. He complains to Jennifer - with the important BL Board meeting Brian has enough on his plate. 
At the meeting, Justin points out to Brian that absent Annabelle has had to miss quite a few meetings due to other work commitments. He needs a more reliable Chair. Brian's re-election to the Board goes through before Adam successfully pitches for the Estate contract, winning over the sceptical Andrew Eagleton.

Justin celebrates with Jennifer and Brian and drinks to a 'profitable partnership'. Lilian happily joins them. With Justin renting the Dower House, Justin points out that it would be foolish for Lilian to occupy one of her other properties and prevent it making money - so she's staying at Home Farm. What a lovely surprise for Brian.

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