Hello, I've just nipped in before your BBC podcast starts to tell you all about

0:09.4

You're Dead to Me. We're the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Also from the BBC

0:13.9

and presented by me, Greg Jenner. I should have told you that at the beginning. Sorry.

0:17.9

Anyway, like many other BBC podcasts, such as Desert Island Discs, Evil Genius, or In Our Time, your dead to me is available first on BBC Sounds,

0:26.3

a whole month earlier than anywhere else, in fact. So if you can't wait another day to hear

0:31.2

the very latest in history and loads of other good stuff, then listen first on BBC Sounds.

0:36.2

You're listening to The Archers Omnibus from BBC Radio 4. Oh, leave the dishes now, Tom.

1:00.5

1:01.5

1:21.6

It doesn't last forever, this exhausting stage.

1:24.3

Good. I thought I might get some work done last night when they went to bed, but as soon as I sat down, I could feel my eyes closing. Work on a Saturday night? I still haven't had a chance to collect the veg box figures for the audit. Well, we're going to need them for tomorrow. Yeah, I know, I know. I'll do it tonight. Um, has the advisor given you any idea when we might get the results of the audit, Helen?

2:19.1

By the middle of the week should be. As long as she's got all the figures she needs. All right, I said I'd do it tonight. Well, it'll be interesting to see what they find. And whether it's anything we don't already know. I'm sure the results will be illuminating whatever they say. We'll see, won't we? Look, I know this is all new to us, but it really isn't so controversial. It's just a way for us to understand how our farm functions so we can work out how to make the most of it. That's all. Look at those brothers up in Edinburgh. That could be us. The ones who won that BBC Food and Farming Award? Yeah, that was impressive. Yeah, but their farm was struggling. Ours isn't.
