BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/02/2018

Jennifer finds herself the talk of the town.

Jennifer finds herself the talk of the town, and Pip needs reassurance.

Brian's in a foul mood - Martyn Gibson has suggested putting the Berrow Farm pig unit on hold until the bad publicity blows over. Brian thinks this is just another move to oust him from his chairmanship. 

Susan can't understand what's taking Neil so long to accept Justin's offer of pig unit manager at Berrow Farm. Neil's not sure he's really cut out for such a big responsibility. Susan reminds him that there are fifty five thousand reasons why he should accept. She tells him that in all the time they've been married she's only met one person who doesn't realise how special Neil is and that's Neil. Finally he accepts the job offer.

Pip tells Helen that when she was doing her rounds delivering the Hereford beef she bumped into Alfie. It was hideous, both of them trying to be polite and smile and neither of them mentioning the fact that she was pregnant. Pip doesn't feel like she'll ever have another relationship now that she's pregnant and that everyone is giving her advice and she's starting to feel completely panic-stricken. Helen shares her own experience with Jack and Rob, although she's not the same person she was before the children, in many ways she's more herself than she's ever been.

Jennifer makes an unfortunate discovery in The Echo: "Jennifer Aldridge of Home Farm, wife of controversial local businessman Brian Aldridge seen enjoying life to the full with a glass of champagne at a recent corporate event at Grey Gables.".

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