BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 05/05/2013

Jill has a plan, and Peggy gets hold of the wrong end of the stick.

After the Sunday service, Peggy stops for a chat with Alan and expresses her delight with the plans to repair the church organ. He can count on her for a sizable donation. Joining the conversation, Jill informs Alan about her and Clarrie's idea for a Flower Festival to raise funds. Alan and Jill discuss the idea further at the Vicarage and decide the arrangements should adhere to a saints theme.

Over a cup of coffee, Elona expresses her gratitude for all Peggy's help. Almost brought to tears by the situation, Elona reveals she can no longer work for Peggy. Her marriage is over and due to finances she must move elsewhere. She is deeply sorry to present Peggy with more problems, as she has heard Tony is selling Bridge Farm and is sure Peggy has enough to deal with.

Tony is thinking of popping down to The Bull before lunch to address the rumours about them selling the farm. Pat votes they have a relaxing family lunch instead. Peggy calls by and is relieved to hear there is no truth to the rumours. The family wonder if someone they have informed about selling the herd has started the rumour mill.

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