BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/08/2018

Phoebe attempts to offer advice, and Pip has a new project.

At Brookfield Ruth asks Josh if he could help her with the sheep later. He is annoyed about the extra work; he's already helping Pip out with herbal lays for her Innovative Farmers scheme. Later Ruth and Josh are examining the sheep - with worries about lamb prices post-Brexit, they've decided to cut the flock down. Ruth thinks they might not need Eddie any longer which will save them money. Josh thinks Brexit will be good for his used machinery business.

Jill wants to know more about the Innovative Farmers scheme so Pip takes her to look at the seed with baby Rosie. Jill thinks that Shula might be interested in using the wild flowers from the herbal leys for the Flower and Produce Show.

Elizabeth's making an effort with Lily after forgetting about her exam results but Lily storms out and later ignores Elizabeth's reminder to contact Harrison about the cricket team. Arriving at Lower Loxley, Phoebe meets Elizabeth who is overseeing the installation of CCTV in a bid to prevent the revocation of her alcohol licence. Phoebe and Lily go to the tea room where Phoebe isn't convinced by Lily's plans. She thinks Lily should begin university life without Russ and that he should work out his notice at college, but Lily is determined her new life with Russ will be amazing.

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