BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/01/2021

Kirsty lashes out and Brookfield fear someone is out to get them.

Ruth tells David that an upcoming wedding booking has been cancelled after a scathing review was posted about their barn. The original post has been removed but not before it’s been copied across social media. They watch in horror as the post continues to be shared. 
Brian advises David to stand firm in the wake of the negative review about the Brookfield barn venue. He also points out how specific the details are in the review. Could this help them work out who wrote it? 
Lee finds Kirsty searching for clues to Blake, Kenzie and Jordan’s whereabouts and warns her not to put herself in danger. Kirsty bristles – anything she comes up against can’t be as bad as what those lads faced. Lee reports back to Helen and their thoughts turn to Philip and Kirsty’s house. It would have been perfect for Helen but now it’s tainted. 
Helen tries to convince Kirsty that searching for the lads Philip enslaved is a job for the police. But Kirsty has twigged that they must have been sold on and she can’t give up looking for them. Helen wants Kirsty to focus on herself and reminds her again of how dangerous trawling the streets could be. When Helen dithers at Kirsty’s invitation to join her, Kirsty compares their situation to her support of Helen through her problems with Rob. If Helen won’t help, Kirsty would prefer to be left to her own devices and she hangs up.

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