BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 17/12/2012

Will doesn't hold back. Meanwhile Vicky is feeling pampered.

It's Vicky's birthday and she's thrilled when Mike spoils her with breakfast in bed. She's especially touched by his present of aromatherapy oils, particularly when she learns he went to the shop himself to choose them. With his present and the trip to Cheltenham to look forward, this is turning out to be her best birthday ever!

Eddie gets cross with Will when he's scathing about Ed and Emma having to move in with the Carters, especially when Will says Ed can't even keep a roof over his family's head. Eddie points out that he didn't manage it either and anyway, Will's lucky he's had money left to him. When Will carries on criticising Ed, Eddie stops him short saying that Ed's having a tough time and isn't proud of what's been going on and if Will's got nothing useful to say, he'd better not say anything.

Ed's grateful when Neil runs his eye over Ed's business accounts. Neil's concerned when it appears that Ed doesn't do any financial forward planning. He suggests that maybe Ed could do with advice from someone like Ruth who knows a bit about dairy management. Ed's initially reluctant but finally agrees to let Neil mention it casually to Ruth.

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