BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 22/01/2020

It's a big day for Jim and there's an awkward encounter for Lee.

Ian arrives at Bridge Farm in a blazing mood. There’s a whole article in Borsetshire Life about Hugh working as the Grey Gables chef. Helen calms him down and talk turns to Xander. Ian’s hopeful they’ll get the parental order. She formally introduces Lee to Ian, but their conversation is stilted and awkward. Helen can’t understand it: conversation flows so easily when she speaks to them, why are they so awkward with one another?
Alistair, Jazzer and Jim have arrived for the funeral. Half the town has turned up at the church. Jim’s distraught that Harold could have fooled so many people. Jim decides he doesn’t have the strength to go into the church, and they decide to head back to their inn for a drink. Alistair suggests visiting a historical site to take Jim’s mind off the morning. They agree to stay another night and visit a Roman fort the next day.
If you have been affected by Jim’s storyline, details of organisations offering information and support are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 0800 077 077.

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