BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/04/2020

Susan can’t help worrying about Emma, and Roy’s the worse for wear.

Adam finds Pip at the playground while out for fresh air with Xander – Rosie’s enjoying the sandpit. They discuss Justin withdrawing investment from Pip, Rex and Phoebe’s idea to convert some derelict barns. Pip thinks it’s distracting them from their main rewilding project but Adam points out it’s a venture that fits nicely with their ethos. Pip decides to ask Lilian for advice on how to deal with Justin.

Roy looks worse for wear after last night and what’s more he’s lost his new phone. Tracy has no sympathy when they meet in the shop. Meanwhile, Susan remarks how much better Emma is doing. Tracy agrees she’s got her mojo back. Later, Susan calls round to Tracy’s and worries about what the future holds for Emma. Tracy tells her she’s got to let her daughter be independent. This ruffles Susan but ultimately she is grateful for the pep talk. 

As Pip catches up with Adam on their way to cricket practice, Gavin joins them. He’s keen to give cricket a go. In the changing rooms, Adam teases Johnny about his thinning hair. Later, when Tracy reports that Harrison won’t let Gavin join the team because he’s not a permanent Ambridge resident, everyone is stunned, especially as Gavin is a great batsman.

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