BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/04/2018

Brian hatches a plan, and Jazzer finds a captive audience.

Kate is keen to share her ideas about the future of Home Farm with Adam. With the rise of veganism in the world she doesn't believe they can justify continuing to keep livestock. This approach is too radical even for environmentalist Adam. Kate complains that he's behaving just like Brian - what was the point of him taking over?

At Berrow Farm Neil, Justin and Adam interview potential stockmen. Justin admits he was surprised to see Jazzer on the candidate list, but accepts Neil's argument that he's well respected locally. Overlooking him would invite comment. They are all surprised by Jazzer's unconventional interview technique. Apparently his greatest weakness is either whisky or women. They agree that he wouldn't fit into the team, and Neil wonders how to break the news. 

Brian and Justin have a heart to heart over a game of golf. Brian isn't pleased that Martyn Gibson has been elected the new chair of BL, but is convinced he won't last. Brian has some tough decisions to make, and isn't sure if he can confide in his family any more. Justin listens to Brian's proposed response to the situation and commends his courage. But, for now, their conversation must remain strictly confidential.

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