BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 08/09/2020

Lilian issues some home truths and Susan has a mystery to solve.

Robert leaves a message for Leonie asking if he can stay for a few days as he seems to be getting under Lynda’s feet at the moment. He then calls Lilian to ask if she will keep an eye on Lynda in his absence. Lilian is stunned that things are so bad between Robert and Lynda. She thought they were set for a night of passion but Robert explains how it went wrong. Lilian urges him to not give up so easily on the woman he loves. So bombarded is Robert, he hangs up. 
Tracy explains that she’s confiscated Brad’s phone as punishment for the fake solicitor’s letter. Susan thinks shoplifters are targeting the shop as there are anomalies with the stock, but Tracy doesn’t think someone would steal from a community enterprise. They discuss potential suspects and then look at the CCTV but it doesn’t yield much information. Tracy insists they can do their own detective work rather than call in Harrison. 
Lilian confronts Lynda and they argue. Lilian points out to Lynda that Robert loves her as much as he ever did. Lynda is shocked to hear that Robert plans to stay with Leonie, and Lilian reminds her that she is the woman who chained herself to the sign outside The Bull – she needs to fight for her marriage.
