BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/04/2020

Ed gets a wake-up call, and has Lynda found her voice again?

At the Easter Festival, Kenton asks Emma, who’s running craft sessions for kids, to join in when he’ll mark Lynda’s arrival with a special announcement over the PA. When Lynda, with sunglasses and hat, arrives at the Easter Festival, Chris asks how she is but struggles to find the right words. Lynda wants to stay on the edge of the event but when Kenton announces Lynda’s arrival over the PA, which makes her heart sink, Robert pushes her wheelchair closer to the action. 

At the unveiling of the refurbished old sign for The Bull, Lynda is invited to say a few words. Kenton holds the microphone in front of her but she can’t find anything to say. Kenton quickly moves on from the awkward moment while Lynda asks Robert to take her back to the car – she doesn’t want to be here. 

Emma tells Ed that she needs to withdraw quite a bit of money to secure a new place to live for her and the kids. She assures Ed that he will still see Keira and George. Later, glum Ed gives Kenton a hand to set up for prize-giving and he explains just as he was about ask Emma about giving their relationship another try she’s told him that she’s looking for a new place to live without him in the equation. Then, when Chris asks him about collecting Emma’s furniture, Ed realises Emma’s move is much sooner than he was led to believe.

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