BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 14/03/2016

Mr Grundy goes to college. And Helen has an appointment.

A Grundy heads off to college - which Eddie compares to "a mule in a discotheque". Eddie and Joe are busy building the shepherd's hut for Lynda's garden. Joe lets slip to Eddie about his upcoming barn dance birthday party, which was supposed to be a surprise. They discuss Lynda's weight, in reference to the narrow fold-down bed they are building. When Lynda joins them, they talk over her ambitious plans for the themed garden. They also ask her how much she weighs.
Helen sleepwalks into Henry's room. Rob claims Henry was terrified by it and he embellishes, claiming that she was looming over Henry and saying abusive things. Rob prevents Helen from apologising to Henry. Instead, he brings forward her appointment with the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist offers Helen anti-depressants and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but there is a waiting list for the latter. Rob says this prescription is a sign of how serious things are. Helen doesn't want to take pills while she is pregnant. Helen grovels to Rob for putting him in this difficult situation.
