BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 15/03/2017

Justin looks to the future, and Robert and Jim go head-to-head.

Usha's keen to get stuck in at nets but her first attempts at batting aren't a success. Harrison counsels baby steps, but Robert's not sure she has what it takes. They agree she's enthusiastic, good with the youngsters and a great team player, but they really need people who can bat and bowl.

Anisha's sent Alistair a list of potential new equine clients while she's away caring for her parents. He's not sure he'll have much success but Shula reassures him he knows a lot about horses; he should pick up that phone and knock 'em dead.

When Justin suggests he and Lilian should follow birder Robert's example and take a turn round Arkwright Lake, Lilian reacts with dismay. She hopes life won't get too domestic. Justin lovingly reassures her they have a whole season to plan. Her suggestion of a trip to Alderney meets with his approval. They should go there on their honeymoon! Realising the implications of this, Lilian is temporarily dumbfounded. The tricky moment is interrupted by a commotion in the hide, as Robert and Jim argue over a contentious bird spot. Later, Lilian blusters that she needs to be back into Home Farm for a while - just to get her head around various things. She promises she'll see Justin soon.

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