BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/07/2021

It’s crisis point for Adam and Lynda is keen to up the ante

At the latest fete meeting Joy admires the blooms in Lynda’s garden. Lynda informs her the rest of the committee will arrive later, so that they can nail things down before the trouble makers arrive. Lynda’s convinced by Joy’s ‘cowpat roulette’ game. It’s on the list! They happily discuss prizes and potential attractions. Lynda favours a celebrity to open the fete, and Joy’s note of caution is taken as a criticism. Mortified, Joy apologises. On the contrary, replies Lynda, it gives her a chance to work on possible objections to her plans. Lynda’s horrified to learn Jim’s already sounded out a ‘celebrity’; an obscure but renowned philologist. She resolves to remedy this problem herself.
Adam attempts to apologise to Ian. Ian accuses him of repeatedly shutting him out. He’s cross that all their discussions are on Adam’s terms, and he’s tired. Adam tries to reassure him about his commitment, and to explain his reasons for not telling Ian everything straight away. But Ian’s not sure about trusting Adam; he knows he has it in him to be unfaithful. He’s not proud of yesterday’s outburst, but doesn’t know how to make it better. Neither knows how to move on from this. Ian resolves to try and trust Adam as long as Adam is more open with him. They agree the good thing is that Adam’s free of Home Farm; and that they still love each other.

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