BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 02/05/2018

Lily demands answers, and Jazzer gatecrashes.

Susan tells Lily about Neil's first batch of pigs coming to Berrow Farm - and about new employee Hannah coming over for dinner. Lily doesn't remember Hannah but Jazzer does. Jazzer also mentions Freddie's nose and when Lily blames dodgeball Jazzer lets on that he has heard something different. 

Susan's keen to impress Hannah over dinner. As she and Neil wait for her to arrive, they chat about Will, and his conversation with Bev, and also wonder about the health of Pat's friend Olwen. 

Over dinner, Hannah compares Ambridge with the large farm in North Carolina she's left. She notes that it was Ambridge that first got her hooked on pigs. Jazzer turns up unannounced and invites himself in. He grills Hannah over her experience at Berrow and insists they can still be friends despite Hannah's warnings of biosecurity when it comes to the pigs. Susan and Neil convince Jazzer he'd better get going, and then comment on his delusions about having ever been more than just friends with Hannah. 

Lily confronts Freddie - is he mixed up in drugs? She'll tell Elizabeth if he doesn't fess up. Freddie admits he has been taking smart drugs to help him revise, and gave some to a mate, which Ellis found out about. He tries to convince Lily that smart drugs are safe, but Lily calls him naïve. If he wants to wreck his life, he can do it on his own. She is done with 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.
