BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/04/2020

Roy has a revealing encounter, and Lilian takes charge.

Roy’s preoccupied with the fact that the investigation into the Grey Gables fire found that Blake had lit the grill. He offloads to Phoebe and asks her to promise not to share the information with anyone else. Roy doesn’t think Philip should take the blame if the cause of the explosion was down to the recklessness of one of his workers. 

Lynda refuses breakfast and chastises Robert for taking her right into the middle of the Easter Festival yesterday. He didn’t consider her feelings and she doesn’t want to see him. When Lilian calls round she barges in to see Lynda sends Robert out for a walk with Monty. When Robert returns he finds Lynda in much better spirits. Lilian has cheered her up with talk about her mistaken Easter Bonnet prize and the chocolate bunny prize trans-morphing into a frog. 

Roy goes to the hospital only to find out that Blake is no longer there. He gets caught in conversation with Geoff, the patient in the bed next to Blake’s, who tells him that Blake was discharged even though the doctors didn’t think it was a good idea. Geoff also says Blake’s uncle picked him up who was thick-set, in his fifties and Welsh. Geoff suggests Roy asks one of the nurses for more information but Roy’s pretty sure he knows who collected Blake.

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