BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 21/10/2021

Adam is forced to come clean and Jill puts the lid on an argument.

Jennifer learns from Tom that Adam’s left his job and is working at Bridge Farm on their harvest. She sympathizes over the situation at Danforth Barton, but she can’t hide her disdain for the work Adam’s doing now, suggesting the partnership could find him a role back at Home Farm. But Adam doesn’t want to return. He tells Jennifer the truth about why he left – due to secretly taking money from a Home Farm account – and she is stunned. Adam knows he’s messed up and right now he’s happy picking fruit. Jennifer can’t understand his satisfaction. 
Kenton delivers drinks to Brookfield for the Harvest Supper on Sunday. He and David assure one another their preparation to host the event is going really well but neither are willing to reveal exactly what they’ve got planned. Kenton admits to Jill that his efforts actually aren’t going well. Jill suggests he gets help from Lynda; she’ already suggested to David he does the same. Kenton’s not keen. Later, David and Kenton meet after respectively getting feedback from Lynda Snell and Bert Fry. They struggle to work together and then admit, with some help from Jill, that neither of them have written anything of significance. Jill asks if she could do the introduction instead, and her relieved sons think her suggestion is perfect. The job is hers.

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