BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 15/08/2017

Phoebe has an anxious wait, and Clarrie gets to grips with a new recipe.

While on a tea break at the Bridge Farm dairy, Susan is interested in discussing Caroline's bequests. She tells Clarrie she has been adding them up and they are not the fortune she expected. Roy pops by and Susan is all ears when he mentions Caroline's generosity. Susan can't resist asking how much Roy got, much to Clarrie's disapproval. 

Susan is lacklustre about making kefir and Clarrie does most of the work. Susan's attitude changes when Clarrie points out producing the new product will be lot of responsibility. Susan has another taste of the kefir that Tom brought them. She doesn't find it as bad as the first time and vows to do some research. 

Phoebe is still off work and she fears her second morning-after pill didn't have time to work. Lily brings her a pregnancy test. Phoebe feels sick as she waits for the result. Roy returns home unexpectedly and finds the test in the bathroom. Under pressure, Lily announces the pregnancy test, which is negative, is Lexi's. Roy is relieved it's not Phoebe's. Lily goes further, saying Lexi had a fling with Constantin. Later, Phoebe berates Lily for making Lexi the scapegoat. And Phoebe points out she could still be pregnant, it's too early for a test. So the problem is far from solved.

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