BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 15/02/2016

A helping hand for Helen? Johnny is a chip off the old block.

Johnny got an impressive number of Valentine's cards and Tom compares him to ladies'-man John. Tom and Tony have a ploughing match coming up tomorrow, and former 'best ploughman in Borsetshire', Bert, agrees to judge. Tom compliments Johnny on his progress - he has an assessment next week. Johnny's left to work alone, with Bert watching and complimenting him on the tilth. Bert reminisces about Freda and Johnny wonders whether he'll ever have such a relationship.

Helen puts some of the flowers from her huge bouquet in the bedroom for Ursula - Helen was rather overwhelmed by all his gifts. Rob's put out when ungrateful Helen's not keen to wear the unflattering dress he bought her, for Ursula, so she agrees. Henry throws Helen rather by telling Ursula that "daddy says you're my new grandma."
Tom and Rob have a debate about suppliers for the shop. Tom responds to Rob's hint of hypocrisy, explaining that, yes, sometimes they will stock non-organic - but there's more to consider about quality. Rob plays the issue down, telling Tom to relax.

Ursula offers to help Helen with looking after Henry. She settles in and talks to Helen about Rob and his brother. Rob comes home and says he knew Helen and Ursula would get on like a house on fire - their laughter when he came in proved him right. Ursula jokes with Rob that he's always right.

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