BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 05/02/2017

Helen is concerned for Henry, and Harrison is having nightmares.

Pip congratulates Helen after hearing about the showdown between her and Rob. Pip says she'll keep Josh from blabbing but Helen's not bothered who knows the good news - Rob is gone and she has Jack back. Pat tries to stop Helen worrying over Henry - he came into her room last night asking when Daddy was coming back. Helen finds it hard to find the middle ground between lying and telling Henry what Rob was truly like. Afterwards, Henry opens up to Pat while they make brownies, and she reassures him that he will be looked after. 

Ruth and Pip steel themselves for a full-on season of lambing and calving. Ruth asks about Toby and Pip assures her things are much better between them now. Pip explains that Toby had "personal stuff" to deal with when he rushed off to Brighton, but won't tell Ruth what exactly.

Harrison's having nightmares of not being able to field a cricket team and hardly anyone has turned up to indoor nets. Fallon tries to lend him some perspective over it. Later, Harrison calls round to Bridge Farm - the police have traced Rob's passport and found that he took a flight to Minneapolis on Friday. If Rob ever returns he'll be on their radar as a 'person of interest'. Helen realises she no longer has to worry about Rob.

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