BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/03/2024

Tracy has a bone to pick, and Stella has a delicate problem on her hands.

Chris complements Stella and Hannah on their skills, but they decline his offer to join the cricket team. Stella teases Hannah that she likes Chris. Later, Tracy moans to Chris about the woes of captaining the cricket team – but she’d be  interested in being vice-captain. Chris breaks it to Tracy that Harrison has already given him the job and she’s miffed. Lynda sympathises with Tracy and reflects on the battle for women’s liberation. Tracy reports that Kenton is doing better after the dog attack, but the police aren’t getting anywhere finding the culprits.  Lynda also shares with Tracy that she has booked Robert onto a watercolour painting class at Grey Gables as she hopes to find him a new hobby. 

Back at Stella’s, Pip and Rosie have made themselves at home as Rosie puts on a puppet show, and busy Stella could do with some time to finish her work. Hannah tells Stella to be honest with Pip, but Stella teases Hannah again about Chris – she should tell Chris she fancies him. Hannah admits she does, but she’s scared, opening up about a previous brief fling with Tom, who she liked more than he reciprocated. Stella promises to be Hannah’s wing-woman – they’ll both join the cricket team! 

Lynda speaks with Chris about women in the cricket team and Chris susses that Tracy put her up to it, telling Tracy to join the committee. But Tracy’s not interested in the position of Chair.  Thinking of someone who might be, Tracy starts to talk about Lynda, but Chris gets distracted by a text from Stella – he’s delighted to have 2 new women on the cricket team!

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