BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 25/04/2016

Tom has got his hands full, and Jazzer is not having any luck.

Tom and Johnny are sorting stock in the shop, working out what to do with the surplus while they are closed. Tom is snowed under, although Johnny is pitching in. Jazzer turns up asking for help, but after Jazzer's feud with Tom, Johnny refuses to get involved. Some pigs run amok in a polytunnel as Tom had left a gate open. Generous Johnny offers to tidy up - and there's still time to replant. Tom doesn't want Pat seeing any of this - she has enough to deal with. Jazzer tries again with Johnny, but Johnny refuses again.
Pat is distraught. Ursula collects Henry from school and reminds his teachers that no-one else can pick him up except her. She tells Rob to stop worrying - as far as Henry's concerned, his mother's just on a long holiday. Rob insists on speaking to Pat. He reminds her of his full parental rights: Henry will stay with him. Helen is no longer responsible for Henry after what she has done. "It's not her story anymore." Solicitor Dominic advises Pat they need to file an application to the family court. They might get a hearing in a couple of days, but there are no guarantees they will win. When Pat tells Ursula they're talking to a lawyer about Henry's custody she replies "we'll see you in court!".

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