BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 31/07/2017

Anisha is drawn in, and Alistair frets about the past.

Following the racist graffiti, Adam decides to install CCTV around the pickers' caravans. He wants everyone to feel safe, but the announcement isn't enthusiastically received. Lexi insists that nobody feels unsafe, and that they can deal with any trouble themselves. Bu that's something Adam's keen to avoid. 

Oliver has a lot of paperwork to deal with after Caroline's death, but is finding it hard to get started. He walks over to Home Farm to clear his head, and chats to Adam about the harvest. He doesn't miss farming, but Adam can't imagine life without it. Oliver's daughter wants him to join her in New York, but for now he's being well looked after at the Stables.

Matt asks Anisha to do some pre-purchase exams. It will mean taking two days out at short notice, but when Matt mentions Latif, Anisha feels she can't turn him down. Alistair's furious, pointing out that Matt can't be trusted. Shula thinks he should let Anisha go. She'll learn her lesson if it goes wrong. Alistair alludes to his dodgy past with Matt, but plans never to tell Anisha. The argument is interrupted by Oliver, and Shula worries they've upset him.

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