BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 04/07/2016

Carol treats her daughter, and Pip shows she will not be conned.

Rex tells Toby that the Bridge Farm shop has cancelled its pastured eggs order. Toby tells Rex not to be so glum, they've done a deal on the geese and he's now working them into his film. Pip arrives at Hollowtree, she's a replacement for Josh who's being made to draw up an assessment of the free-range egg business by Ruth. When Toby asks Pip if she will do the voiceover for his re-edited film, Pip wants to know if he will provide more samples from Wayne's tasting menu at The Bull. 

Carol spends time with Jill in the garden at Brookfield, filling her in on how Anna feels about Helen's case. Jill shares her concerns over how much Pip is helping out the Fairbrothers but Carol thinks Pip can take care of herself and they might distract for her from brooding over Matthew. Later, when Pip tells Jill that Toby has asked her again to do the voiceover for his promotional film, Jill says he mustn't waste her time. 

Over lunch Carol and Anna talk about the case that caused Anna and Max to split up. Anna was prosecuting and lost the case, and then the defendant continued to abuse his partner and killed her. Anna feels bad about FHDRA hearing, she messed up her opening speech because she had a flash back to her previous case. She's not sure if she's up to fighting Helen's case and wonders whether Helen should find someone else to represent her.

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