BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 30/05/2018

Will makes a surpising decision, and Jennifer takes over.

David gladly accepts Jennifer's offer to host Ruth's party at Home Farm. But he gets more than he bargained for when she starts grilling him about arrangements. She quizzes him on dietary requirements, colour schemes, drinks, music, balloon arrangements... David quickly realises that he can't really answer any of her questions helpfully. Jennifer's keen to impress upon him the seriousness of the undertaking, and David suddenly remembers that he urgently needs to move the heifers. 

Emma's disappointed to hear that Joe has left the tumble tussock grafts for too long, making them useless. Clarrie reflects that Nic's death is affecting them all in different ways. Poppy is still obsessed with Peppa Pig the ram lamb, despite Ed's reservations about the name. While Will is out collecting Jake and Mia Peppa Pig knocks Poppy over. Poppy thinks it's funny, but Will's terrified that it'll reflect badly on him as a parent. He's convinced himself that Andrew will sue for custody of Jake and Mia. The children are all he has left of Nic, and they belong together. Emma gently suggests that Will might be getting paranoid, but he's made up his mind. He wants custody of Jake and Mia.

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