The Archers - A podcast by BBC Radio 4

Categorie:

Robert’s on edge attending to breakfast for fussy B&B guests the Philpotts. Lynda calmly encourages Robert to take himself off and find something to distract himself and restore his usual amiability. Robert stumbles upon George with Bartleby the pony and George’s ears prick up as Robert jokes about Bartleby being the oldest horse in the world. When Robert shares some initial research with George about the oldest living horse, George gets excited by the idea that the ‘title’ could be vacant. Lynda finds them and warns Robert not to encourage George. Robert admits that he wasn’t in the mood for bird watching, and Lynda realises he needs a new hobby to keep him busy – but what? Kate checks with Brian that Alice is ok. Brian is glad Alice reached out to him and she seemed happier yesterday. Kate reckons she had suspicions about Harry from the start. Kate quizzes Brian on where he was on Friday, looking very smart. Just a Rotary club dinner, he says, changing the subject. Kate finds Alice, who insists she’s fine, and they realise that Brian told them different stories about his whereabouts. Kate thought he was acting strangely earlier, and he’s been rather ‘perky’ lately – could it be down to a woman? Kate puts Brian on the spot and he admits he has been seeing someone, but it’s over - he didn’t want to upset his daughters over Jenny. Alice encourages her Dad to follow his own advice to her and live his life. Kate agrees, and Brian’s left pondering rearranging a date – but says let’s just see how it goes.
