BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 07/04/2019

Jill makes a shocking discovery and it all proves too much for Shula.

It’s the day of Rosie’s christening and Pip and Toby have their hands full. Toby assures Pip that she doesn’t have to worry about Jill’s reaction to Rosie’s middle name, he’s sorted it. But when the time comes for Rosie’s name to be read aloud it becomes clear that Toby’s plan to cough loudly to obscure her name was never going to work.

Jim’s presence at the christening puts Shula off her sermon and she has to stop. She tells Jill that she suddenly felt as if everything she was saying felt insincere. 

Although Jill had been looking forward to the day things quickly take a downward turn. Jill feels that she is being pushed out of things after observing Robin Fairbrother organising the photos, the Fairbrother christening gown for Rosie and on top of that discovering Rosie’s middle name is ‘Grace’. Leonard shares some words of wisdom; he thinks today is about past loves and new ones. Jill agrees, and has a special moment with her great granddaughter.
