BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/02/2016

Has someone got their eye on Kirsty? Lynda is feeling creative once again.

Lilian shows Justin into his new rental accommodation, the Dower House. Lilian tells him he's free to make changes (within reason). They discuss business, in particular the sponsors for the Borsetshire Businesswoman of the Year. Justin flatters Lilian by saying that she must surely have been nominated in the past. They decide to go to the lunch together.
Jennifer laughs with Lilian about her being let loose with Justin's credit card. Jennifer's pleased that things are looking up for Lilian again. Also, Jennifer reports that Ian and Adam fell out on Valentine's Day because someone sent Adam an anonymous card.
Lynda corners Kirsty about her various projects, and tries to enlist her in the pageant play she is arranging: "England's Pleasant Land" by E.M. Forster. Lynda looks forward to the play, an examination of the countryside which she feels is prescient today. Kirsty goes to see Helen, and encourages her to get involved in the pageant - and village life - again. This leads them to talking about the "activism" of Kirsty's youth and Ursula says she can still see that "spark" in Kirsty. As Helen and Kirsty talk, it feels just like old times. Kirsty attributes Helen's good mood to Ursula's arrival... whilst Ursula is across the village, on the phone to Rob, telling him to put a stop to their friendship - the sooner the better.

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