BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 03/07/2016

Pat and Tony have to change their plans, and Anna needs to make herself scarce.

Rob drops off Henry at Bridge Farm who is excited about seeing the elves. Pat and Tony were planning to take him to the zoo but Rob has brought Henry's costume for the Great Elf Migration. Meanwhile, Helen worries to Kaz about Henry's safety and blames herself for putting him at risk. Helen tells Kaz she should never have let Rob do this to her. When Helen says can't face making being in touch with her family, Kaz suggests meeting the prison chaplain.

While Anna is gardening at Glebe Cottage, Carol asks if she ever hears from Max. Anna doesn't think it's likely they'll be friends again, Max is seeing someone else. The Great Elf Migration passes them and Henry runs up, Pat joins him and Anna has to leave. Carol asks Pat about Henry's costume and Henry spots Rob in the crowd. Henry takes Rob to see Tony and Pat complains to Carol that Rob is taking over their one day with Henry. 

When Rob collects Henry from Bridge Farm, Tony notices he isn't using his walking stick. Pat hears from the prison chaplain that Helen is very low and that's a common reaction after a custody hearing. Tony is pleased that Helen is talking to someone. 

Anna insists on making dinner, she feels good after a day of gardening. She tells her mum that seeing Rob has made her angry. Carol says she'll put it right but Anna isn't so sure. Carol suggests Anna should take a day off tomorrow and they should go out for lunch.

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