BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 01/10/2014

Phoebe loses her temper, and Lynda is inspired.

Lynda briefs Roy at Grey Gables, before asking if he's interested in auditioning for her Christmas show. Perhaps Hayley could too? He'll get back to her.

Fallon and Emma are enjoying their work expedition to France, on the lookout for furniture.

Ed is concerned. Mike has sold the cottage for the full asking price. But the chap from Felpersham only wants to buy Mike's rounds and not Ed's milk. So Mike has told the guy no deal, much to Ed's relief.

Lynda panics about which show to stage this year. Rival company Felpersham Light Opera Society (FLOS) have raised the bar with Ayckbourn's Season's Greetings. She'll need something classy to match them. She comes up with - and rejects - a few titles, before inspiration strikes and she settles on... Rumplestiltskin.

Phoebe has a go at Roy, particularly for walking out on his job. She mocks him for sitting alone listening to his sad music and barely conceals her knowledge of his affair. She storms off to see Jennifer. Hayley promises to find out what's wrong.

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