BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/09/2010

Joe's big day has come, and Clarrie keeps Emma's secret.

Kathy's unamused by Kenton's apparent bragging to Jamie about his arrest. She admits to Clarrie they haven't discussed it properly - in fact, she's asked Kenton to move out. Nigel goes some way to explaining Kenton's actions, imploring a softening Kathy to give Kenton another chance. 

Joe's dressed up for the flower and produce judging and his 89th birthday. Will is disgruntled to realise that Nic's work at the pub may hold her up for Joe's birthday tea. As he learns about Emma's sickness, Clarrie thinks on her feet to find a plausible reason. 

At the show, thirsty Joe distracts wine judge Nigel, jokingly warning Nigel not to drink too much and end up back in jail. As a vegetable judge Joe has been fastidious, hinting that Bert may be disappointed. Jim's outraged to discover he's been disqualified. He apparently broke the rules by tying his onions together with twine. 

Surprised and victorious Bert praises open minded Joe, who almost rumbles himself by admitting he saw Bert buying the same twine. Joe vows to come back as a competitor next year and give them both a run for their money - all this authority's not what it's cracked up to be.

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