BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/01/2021

Pip vows revenge and Shula struggles with a terrible dilemma.

Pip and David discuss who could have written the vitriolic online review about their barn venue. David wonders if it could have been Toby which gets Pip thinking. Could it have been Rex? David visits Rex who quickly admits he was behind the review. David is furious but Rex stands his ground. He’s felt hard done by with The Archers in more ways than one. David accepts his point of view and Rex apologises. Later, David stops Pip from following up his visit to him. David thinks both sides have messed up and should move on but Pip won’t let Rex’s betrayal go.
Back from exercising Alice’s horse, Shula asks after Jim. Alistair reports he’s fine since their visit from Philip though Jim would still like to know what’s happened to the lads that Philip forced to work for him. Meanwhile, Alistair is livid for allowing Philip into his house. He wishes he’d blanked him like Shula has done with Philip’s calls. 
Shula answers an unrecognised number to find it’s Philip. He’s in prison on remand and is desperate to talk to someone he knows. Gavin has handed himself into the police and given evidence against Philip. Shula tells Alistair about the call and that Philip would like her to visit him. Alistair hopes Shula gave him short shrift.
