BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 31/03/2016

Kirsty is walking a tightrope, and Henry is in trouble.

Brian and Adam discuss the no-till proposal for the estate land. Lilian tells Jennifer that Clarrie has been reminding people of Eddie's contribution to the village; namely, his bringing Anneka to the Easter celebrations. Brian passes by, on B.L. Board business.
Kirsty and Helen finally meet up. Helen points out Kirsty never liked Rob, and promises he has a nice side that Kirsty doesn't see. Kirsty still thinks Helen should call the helpline. Or, suggests Kirsty, Helen could talk to Jess - Rob's ex-wife. Kirsty thinks Jess could shine some light on Rob's behaviour. Helen could find Jess's number on Rob's phone. Kirsty gives Helen a spare phone, as a lifeline, with her number and the helpline number in the address book.
Rob says he knows Helen was with Kirsty earlier, behind his back. Rob also reports that Henry has been badly behaved. Rob blames it on that "ridiculous" Easter egg that Pat and Tony gave him, and the soft toy Helen got him. Rob's punishment is to throw the egg and toy in the bin. He points out that Helen has been inconsistent - allowing Henry chocolate from Pat but not from Ursula. Rob tells Helen it's high time she starts taking anti-depressants - he instructs her to look up the pharmacy number on his phone...

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