BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 03/07/2018

There's a shock for Emma, and Adam puts his foot down.

Brian's solicitor informs him that he'll have to halt the land sale - Kate has legitimate grounds to sue. Brian works out how much more land they'd have to sell to cover Kate's share, but Adam puts his foot down. He's also prepared to take legal action to keep the farm intact. 

Helen and Tom have decided not to invest in a new building, something that would benefit only their richest customers. Instead, Helen's going to relaunch the cheese making courses with improved marketing, and develop a new soft cheese. Tom will start making kombuchas - a healthy and sustainable alternative to fizzy drinks.

Emma's feeling positive - she and Ed are finally on-track to save up their deposit. Pat breaks the bad news about the reduction in the number of affordable homes. Emma's furious - they'll have no chance at all now! Pat advises her to tell Justin exactly how she feels about it. But Emma gets the same story from Justin as Pat - if they don't reduce the affordable houses the whole project becomes uneconomical. Pat offers to help Emma campaign against the decision, but Emma's worried people will think she's abusing her position as Parish counsellor. Pat tells Emma to stand up to Justin - something has to be done!

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