BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/10/2013

Nic makes a breakthrough, and Jim broaches a delicate subject.

Many villagers have turned out for Apple Day. Joe still seems down and Jim tries to lift his spirits by offering to fetch him a glass of cider. Jim bumps into Ruth. He mentions how Jill seemed to be having trouble driving when she took him and Joe to the cider farm - and she hadn't had a drop to drink. Ruth is surprised but grateful to Jim for mentioning it.

Despite many of the villagers coming forward with recipes for the St Stephen's cookbook, Emma is still looking for more. Nic wonders if Joe would have any recipes from the past but his suggestions are not to everyone's taste. With the help of George and Poppy, Nic succeeds in cheering Joe up.

Jill and Shula look through Shula's home family videos. They relive some magical moments, searching for footage to add to a DVD as a gift for Ruth and David's 25th anniversary. Jill is worried that Shula has taken on too much with helping Darrell and wonders if it's time he moved on. Shula explains that he has an interview with the Jobcentre which might just be the turning point for him.

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