BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/01/2020

Kirsty is bowled over and Alistair is horrified by a controversial plan

Pip reports she and Phoebe have finally made up. It took a few drinks to break the ice, but by the end of the evening they were singing in the taxi home. Rex and a hungover Pip go to check out Oakey Bank. They make plans for a ceremonial removal of the fence. It’s the perfect spot, a great bit of land. Pip’s pleased that they’re all working together again, and volunteers to start on a marketing strategy. 
Jim’s still furious about Harold Jayston’s death, but Alistair convinces him not to become reclusive again. They both know that won’t help matters. Jim decides a few days away is what he needs. And while Alistair might not like it, his plan is to attend Harold’s funeral. He needs the catharsis.
Kirsty isn’t enamoured with the idea of spending a work bonding session at Spiritual Home. Philip tries to take her mind off it with a spot of bird watching at the hide. He’s heard rumour of wigeon coming in to roost and is eager for them to set off as soon as possible. Despite the cold, Kirsty’s pleased when they finally see the wigeon over the lake. Philip invites her into the hide, which he’s filled with fairy lights and cushions. He gets down on one knee and asks her to make him the happiest man alive. Kirsty tells him how happy Philip’s made her. Of course she’ll marry him.
