BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 05/03/2017

Kirsty receives a complaint, and Roy helps out Harrison.

The B&B guests at Grange Farm want their bed linen changing. Eddie grumbles; they should be charged for extra laundry. Clarrie's sanguine about it, though she does remark that they're getting through a surprising amount of loo roll. Eddie's pleased to receive another enquiry, and gets on to it straight away. 

While Harrison searches for Roy to enlist him in coaching the female cricket recruits, Lynda collars him about speeding in the village. At nets Roy observes that whilst Molly's not a natural, she has more promise than Lily. He and Harrison agree Anisha has potential. Harrison was hoping for a higher standard, but Roy assures him he's doing all he can. 

At the Health Club, Harrison tries to be pleasant to Miranda, who airily dismisses him. She's waiting to report a fault in the ladies' changing room, but irritable Kirsty's dealing with a phone call. When Kirsty snaps at her, Miranda asks for the name of her manager. When Lynda asks Kirsty about it, Kirsty launches a scathing attack on the hotel's clientele, and then tells Lynda to mind her own business. Later, when Roy offers a kind word, prickly Kirsty spitefully rejects his advice.

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