BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/08/2020

Ed receives a surprising offer and it’s a momentous day for Adam.

While Adam can’t get through to Alice he’s going to have to trust Brian’s updates on how she’s doing. He joins Ian and Xander in the garden playing with the toy farm. Later, while Xander sleeps Adam makes sure the toy farm is set up correctly. Ian thinks he’s a control freak for doing so. 
Alice calls Ed to ask if he can drive the grain trailer instead of Josh but Ed says he’s busy. She calls again and tells him to name his price. Alice agrees to pay him double time. To Ed’s surprise, Emma is fine with this news even though he’s going to have to work late. He reflects on how things are different for them now compared to last year. 
Xander took his first steps today and Adam is so pleased he was there to see it happen. His accident has made him think of how Johnny has grown up without knowing his dad. Adam admits that he was tired and stressed before the accident. He wonders what kind of childcare they should have once Ian’s back at work. Ian gets annoyed when Adam brings it up with him. Adam realises that he would like to work less and have more time being a dad but he’s not sure it’s possible.

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