BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 01/07/2018

Jennifer struggles to keep the peace, and Ruth takes the plunge.

At Brookfield Ruth's concerned that she's made the situation at Home Farm much worse. David argues that selling the Farmhouse is a reasonable suggestion, but Ruth wishes she'd kept quiet. Deciding she needs a break, David takes her to 'Fear by Four', an adrenaline experience involving a zip-wire, abseiling, bungee jumping and freefall. They send a lot of selfies to Pip. While they're out Pip and Toby discuss the birth plan. After Ruth's party Toby's keen to prove he's taking things very seriously. He promises to be an exemplary birth partner. Ruth and David return and give an enthusiastic account of 'Fear by Four'. They don't mention backing out of the bungee jump, and Ruth jokingly thanks David for a truly awful experience.

Jennifer tries to persuade Brian that he needs to be less patronising if he wants Kate to negotiate, but Brian's convinced that she's bluffing. They run into Adam at Grey Gables, and he also tries to persuade Brian to de-escalate the situation. But Brian refuses to see things from Kate's point of view. After he leaves Jennifer admits to Adam that she's finding the situation very upsetting. She's starting to wonder if Kate and Ruth have a point. But Adam promises that selling the farmhouse is the one thing that's never going to happen.

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