BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 29/05/2018

Brian pulls out all the stops, and Lynda makes a connection.

It's Lynda's birthday, but she's feeling a little down. The house doesn't feel the same without a dog, and her experiments in dog-sitting haven't gone to plan. Robert persuades her to come to the dog shelter, and Lynda falls in love with a Doberman who reminds her of Scruff. Robert wonders if she's rushing things, but Lynda has already thought of a name. He'll be Montgomery, in honour of the author of Anne of Green Gables. 

Brian and Jennifer celebrate their anniversary. They reflect upon everything that their marriage has survived, and hope their children with have similar resilience. Alice drops in to wish them a happy anniversary, and Jennifer notices how tired she looks. Pryce Baumann is working her too hard. Brian hopes that Home Farm will be able to offer her a post once the contamination is dealt with. Alice helps Brian out when the restaurant cancels his anniversary meal booking. Brian doesn't tell Jennifer that Alice's alternative is doing a 2 for 1 deal. Unfortunately Robert has brought Lynda there as well and he gives the game away. Brian comes clean, and Jennifer admits that she feels lucky to be here at all. She's decided to offer Home Farm as a venue for Ruth's party - to show the world that the Aldridges are finally back in business.
