BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 02/05/2016

It's a busy day on The Green, and Lilian picks up a bargain.

At the May Day celebrations on The Green, Josh joins Pip and Rex by the beer tent. Josh reveals he has put a photo of the hens in the caravan on Facebook, captioning it 'Hens on Holiday', and it has had nearly 2000 likes. Josh is put out that his parents have decided to focus on the beef herd on Open Farm Sunday. Pip makes the point that the day should be about the family farm not Josh's latest satellite enterprise. The discussion is ended by Pip's phone. Matthew is ringing, he's coming to visit. Rex wants to move the hens out of the caravan but Josh says they must stay in there for the time being. The local TV news is coming to do a piece on them. Josh is keen to be in front of the camera, Rex is not.
Lynda collars Eddie and tells him the shepherd's hut chimney is smoking again. Eddie says it is because the wind has changed direction. He tells Lynda he can change the cowl but it will cost her. Lynda insists she won't pay anymore until the hut is working. Eddie comments to Lilian he's spent more time on Lynda's hut than Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel.
At the jumble sale, Lilian looks for things for the Dower House which she thinks looks too bare. When Lilian spots some vases at Lynda's White Elephant stall, Lynda makes her take the whole box - it's from the Horrobins! Later, after cleaning the patio at the Dower House, Eddie shows interest in the Horrobin box. Lilian says she only wants the two Chinese vases, Eddie can have the rest. One man's trash is another man's treasure, isn't that what they say?

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