BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 07/09/2010

Eddie says a little too much and Lynda sets Bert a challenge.

The kids are back at school. Ruth hasn't seen Emma at the gates. Eddie makes nothing of her absence - she's just running late. 

David's on his way to the Dairy Event. Ruth asks him to look out for a new tool kit for Josh's birthday. At the show, David admires a new mixer wagon, as Ed makes the most of the day. Proud Eddie points out he's come a long way as a farmer, but Ed feels he has a lot to prove to Oliver. Eddie reveals he knows about Emma being pregnant. 

As Ruth helps Jill feed hungry calves, they discuss the scandal at the Echo with the eloping couple. It means Lynda's lost her vegetable judge for the flower and produce show. Ruth's keen to discuss Jill's birthday. Jill's keen to avoid a big do at Lower Loxley, remembering what a wonderful time she and Phil had for their 50th anniversary. She suggests a small family gathering away from Ambridge, for a change.

At an emergency meeting, Lynda proposes Joe Grundy to replace the vegetable judge. Bert's not happy, so Lynda gives Bert until the end of the week to find a more suitable judge.

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