BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 01/03/2017

Rex and Anisha meet in secret, and Jennifer is not sure Lilian can be trusted.

Fallon takes Jennifer through the menu for her party and Jennifer's impressed with the reference to Zeus and the horn of plenty. She has every confidence in Fallon. Fallon notes the Mayor of Felpersham's allergy to broccoli. Brian's relieved all Jennifer's worries have been quelled and he wonders whether there's any chance of him trying out the food samples. 

Rex and Anisha secretly get some indoor nets practise in. Anisha doesn't rate herself with the bat - she's much better at bowling. Rex tries to give her some tips. Over a drink afterwards, Anisha tells Rex she's meeting a stud farm manager tomorrow who she'd like to sign up as a client. She needs to justify all the changes she's pushed through with Alistair. Anisha would like to get herself more well-known in the area and Rex suggests joining the cricket team. Anisha is up for it! They promise to keep their practise a secret. 

Lilian is still trying to persuade Jennifer to let her come to the party. Brian points out that Lilian's absence might get more people talking than her being there. Jennifer reluctantly agrees with Brian but she's still not convinced they can trust Lilian not to cause a scene.
