BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/03/2016

Helen is vulnerable and out of the loop. Shula and Dr Locke talk families.

Shula bumps into Richard while he is out for a jog. Seeing that he is health conscious, she tells him about the Fairbothers' pastured egg business. Richard and Shula go for a coffee and talk over family matters. 
Rob stops Helen from helping to serve Shula at the shop. Shula reports that Jim has a major role in "England's Pleasant Land". Rob decides Helen going to see the pageant would not be good for her right now. When Rob finds out Tom has agreed to stock the Fairbrothers' pastured eggs, he is put out that he wasn't informed. Rob implies that Tom's commercial judgement is skewed.
Helen decides to go and see Kirsty, and Rob tells her not to be long. Helen avoids mention of Kirsty in front of Rob. Fallon asks Helen if she is going to Eddie's barn dance. This is the first Helen has heard of it, but Rob was told. Rob cuts short Helen and Kirsty's chat, and takes her home just as Pat is passing. Pat is worried that Helen is avoiding her, and Rob tells her that Helen has been prescribed anti-depressants.
That night, Rob gets into bed and comments that Helen is cold. He says he knows a way to warm her up.

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