BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 22/01/2018

Toby is overjoyed, and Jim turns detective.

Toby is in awe - he's been reading up on pregnancy and knows that the baby is the size of a Brussels sprout! He tells Rex how excited he is about the 12 week scan although Pip's not actually asked him to go with her but he won't let that get him down, he's going to be a dad! He's even told his Mum and Dad, to varying degrees of congratulations - his mum think he should ask for a paternity test but his dad is over the moon.

Jim's rumbled Joe's Tumble Tussock Cider operation. Jim points out that there seems to be a never ending supply of the stuff, both Joe and Eddie lied about how much there was in the first place or they've been passing off regular cider as Tumble Tussock. Facing what Joe thinks will surely be life behind bars Joe does what he does best... it transpires that a lifetime membership to the cider club is the ultimate get out of jail free card. 

Ian's thanks makes Roy feel awkward. Roy changes topic from the surrogacy to the contamination of the Am thinking Adam will have a lot more to think about than just the baby but Ian assures him that the leak has been stopped and things should be getting back to normal at Home Farm soon. 

Toby's day gets a little brighter when he receives a call from Pip - she asks him to accompany her to the scan, he's delighted he's going to see his baby!

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