BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 06/04/2023

Chelsea takes the shortcut to revenge, and Lee has concerns.

Lee finds Pat shooting the pigeons that are decimating the brassicas. He shares his worry for Helen’s feelings after they laughed off Susan’s mention of an engagement ring. Pat reassures Lee that Helen had never given any hint that she’s interested in marrying Lee. She advises Lee not to be unsettled by Susan’s comment. Helen joins them, reporting there’s been a steady stream of interested visitors at the new dairy window. 
Chelsea and George clash as she cuts his hair. Chelsea’s surprised to learn that Brad’s going on George’s birthday night out. She’s not sure George will take care of Brad. George winds up Chelsea,  suggesting he might add something to Brad’s drink, and Chelsea purposely ruins George’s hair. 
Helen and Lee talk warmly of their children. Lee’s daughters are messaging him more than when they lived in the UK. With Henry twelve years old, Helen sees raising a teenager as a marathon not a sprint. Henry messages Lee to say he’s at the skate park after being on his games console earlier. Meanwhile Jack and Lee have been ordering Lee’s Marvel figures in order of strength and kindness. 
George gives his version of Chelsea ruining his hair to Susan. Susan says she will try to fix things, something she’s always done since he was little. She sorts out another hairdresser to repair George’s hair, and makes him sausage and mash for dinner to cheer him up. George tells her she’s the best and they hug. Susan tells him he’s a good lad.

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