BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 11/02/2011

Matt makes a proposition and it's a busy day for Ruth.

Jazzer's arranged a double date for him and Harry. Harry's had an advance peek at the "friend", by popping into the café-bar where she works, and he's looking forward to meeting her. 

Matt has a private word with Jolene. He's had a discreet chat with a chum who believes The Bull could be converted into apartments, with a row of mews cottages in the car park, thus helping the village's housing problem. Matt assures Jolene he'd get her a good deal, and she agrees to think about it.

As Jolene mulls over the January takings, Harry senses she's on a downer. He reminds her that she's the heart and soul of the community. 

Jill's pleased Ruth and David have managed to buy a car for Pip's birthday. Ruth's still worried about lambing but David's relieved that his meeting with Graham Ryder went well. It shouldn't take long now. And he thinks he's found a buyer for Nigel's Gloucester bull, Custard. He goes to ring the potential buyer, and to open a well-earned bottle of wine. Ruth and Bert finish off in the lambing shed before joining him but Ruth has to open the wine herself. David's asleep in the chair.

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