BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/02/2021

Lynda tries a new tactic and Eddie has the rug pulled from underneath him.

Helen apologises to Kirsty for calling her an idiot in her search for Philip’s men. She also reports that Tony’s 70th birthday tea went well; Tony seemed very touched by it all. Kirsty reveals she’s going to visit Gavin in prison. She admits she’s not emotionally ready to do so but she must do what she can to track down Blake, Kenzie and Jordan. 
Mia and Clarrie discuss her and Eddie’s plan to renew their vows. Mia urges Clarrie to be sure their confetti is environmentally-friendly. Mia agrees to be a bridesmaid as long as she doesn’t have to wear a big dress. Clarrie flippantly refers to Mia’s interest in saving the planet and Mia is quick to say that it isn’t a phase she’s going through. 
Clarrie reports to Eddie that Mia is now vegan. This doesn’t compute with Eddie: rearing animals is in the Grundy blood. Later, Mia and Eddie discuss their different outlooks. Mia apologises for being rude about Eddie’s lunchtime ham sandwiches. Eddie insists they’re actually on the same side and he gently challenges the information Mia uses for her argument. 
Lynda catches up with Kirsty who ends up helping out with building the obstacle courses for tomorrow’s anti-slavery charity fundraiser. Despite Kirsty’s continued refusal, Lynda says she won’t give up with her gentle persuasion to recruit Kirsty to her Mystery Plays production. Even when Lynda changes tack and expresses her passion for the magical project, it’s still a no from Kirsty.

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