BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/03/2016

It's all the fun of the fair, and Peggy has cause for concern.

At the fair at Lower Loxley, Lilian badgers Elizabeth to court the press in the run up to the Borsetshire Businesswoman of the Year event. Lilian and Richard talk over a drink in the beer tent. Richard compliments Elizabeth on her successful event: "Fairground, falconry, food stalls, folk music - all the fs!" They agree to meet at the play tomorrow together - "it's a date".
Henry is enamoured with a soft toy rabbit Helen gave him for Easter. Peggy thinks he is too old for soft toys - it might be different if he were a girl. Pat points out that the "meet baby animals" stall was all Rob's idea, and praises him. Peggy says Rob is "more than just a pretty face", and Helen agrees that he is more than that... Peggy and Pat discuss the tentative plans to send Henry to boarding school. Helen says they made an exception about Henry having chocolate for Pat's Easter egg. Ursula gave him a bigger one. Helen insists she is eating and sleeping enough. Driving home from the fair, Peggy and Pat worry about Helen.

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