BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 07/07/2014

Alice looks after her dad, and Ruth is resolute.

Peggy is visiting Jack's grave where Alice joins her. Peggy intends Jack to have a simple headstone with a verse from St Matthew. Peggy will avoid adding her name, as Hazel would want hers as well.
But later, Peggy is upset to discover that Hazel has chosen her own, very sentimental inscription. Although she hates it, Peggy can't face a fight with Hazel.

Brian calls Alice to help with a kitchen emergency. He can't get his head around all the instructions.
Pip has emailed Ruth. She's keen on the robotic milking idea. Tony tells David and Ruth about plans for a new anaerobic digester at Berrow Farm. Brian has denied responsibility, blaming Justin Elliott.

David and Tony go to look at an Angus bull. David encourages Tony to spend the required £3K - a good investment. Tony decides to sleep on it.

Ruth has spoken to Usha about how much compensation she and David would get if Route B goes ahead. David can't contemplate having Brookfield sliced in half but Ruth thinks they have to find ways of keeping the farm going, road or no road.

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