BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 28/02/2020

Lilian loses her cool and Oliver attempts to do the right thing.

Robert and Lynda are spending the day with Mungo. They introduce him to the sights of the Country Park, where they bump into Oliver, and then take him to a soft play centre. While Lynda finds it overwhelming, she does love being a grandparent.

Lilian has taken Ruby to the vets. Alistair can see without weighing Ruby that she’s overweight. Lilian admits she does sometimes treat her to some Underwoods pâté.

Alistair imparts some bad news about Hector the bull, who’s responsible for the extended calving. He may be for the chop if he doesn’t respond to antibiotics.

Tracy explains to Oliver that introducing Roman to Brad and Chelsea went well and her relationship is getting better every day. Oliver tries to explain that he saw Roman flirting with another woman, but Tracy beats him to it. Of course she already knew! He’s just a tactile person, and she trusts him. Oliver mentions to Lilian that he saw Mungo. She’s bewildered; she didn’t even know Mungo was in Ambridge. She confronts Lynda: how could she keep Mungo to herself just to hurt her? It’s a low blow, weaponising her grandson and she won’t forget it. Lynda doesn’t think she can be blamed for forgetting to tell Lilian, considering how horrid she’s been recently. But Robert thinks that all in all they could have handled the situation better.

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