BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/06/2019

Tom attempts to bury his own ambitions and Kirsty receives an unexpected opportunity.

Natasha and Tom have grand plans for their Cuban-themed house warming. Susan brings Tom and Natasha a parcel that they missed: a Cuban flag for their party. She tells them that Emma’s luck seems to be in at the moment; Peppa Pig won the Texel yearling ram class at the Three Counties. 

Philip arrives with his belongings ready to move in with Kirsty. He hasn’t brought much, it looks more like he’s packed for a weekend break. Kirsty’s been offered a job interview with the Borsetshire Wildlife Trust. The role is to co-ordinate volunteers for a new project on the River Am. Kirsty talks herself out of going to the interview: it’s less money and Grey Gables is more convenient.

Tom tells Tony his plans to submit a bid with Natasha for Peggy’s proposal. They want to turn Ambridge into an orchard village, planting fruit trees on every spare bit of land. Tony thinks Tom’s being selfish. Tom reports back to Natasha at the flat. Natasha wants to persevere, but thinks it’s important to have Tony on side. Their idea has legs, they can’t just let it go, can they?

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