BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 09/02/2017

Kirsty receives an unexpected gift, and Peggy does some investigating.

Helen tells Kirsty about Henry being difficult - he dropped Jack's favourite teddy in the bath on purpose, and is waking up upset in the night. 

Helen and Kirsty speculate on the conversation Peggy is having with Tom about his and Kirsty's baby. To Tom's relief, Peggy approves, insisting it's natural for Kirsty to want a child and up to her if she doesn't want a husband too - but Tom must support her. Tom tells his Gran about feeling excited and overwhelmed. Congratulating Kirsty, Peggy warmly gives her a cheque. Helen reassures a stunned Kirsty that she should cash it and not risk offending Peggy. 

Anisha turns up at Bridge Farm to deal with a sick pig and Tom leaves her with Jazzer. Jazzer doesn't let Anisha go without demanding an apology for drinking water on Burns Night. He asks her out for a proper drink but she turns him down. 

Peggy tells Helen how pleased she is to hear about Rob's departure for America. When Henry upsets Jack by poking him, Peggy offers to talk to Henry and later reveals to Helen what's wrong. Rob had told Henry on the night he tried to take Jack that he's not Henry's real Daddy. So Henry thinks his Daddy didn't want him. It's no wonder Henry is so upset.

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