BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 14/10/2014

David and Ruth have a difficult meeting, and Fallon is looking for fun.

Fallon borrows the Bull kitchen where she and Emma can try out pumpkin pastries for the kids' Halloween party. Kenton suspects that Fallon is still moping after her brush with Burns and his girlfriend last week and tries to buck her up.

Emma's enjoys the relief from Ambridge View, with Ed's money worries and being under Susan's feet. She worries about Fallon, who insists that Burns isn't on her mind. Fallon invites Emma to join her for a special screening of the film Halloween. But Emma has to disappoint Fallon, who gloomily says she'll have to find someone else.

David presides over the family meeting with Kenton, Shula and Elizabeth, nervously preparing to tell them about the possible sale of Brookfield. He tries to break the news gently. He and Ruth are just getting Brookfield valued against the possibility of a worst-case scenario. No-one's taken in, though, and Shula and Elizabeth are shocked and upset. Kenton wants to know when he'll get his share of the cash.

The siblings depart, more shocked and sad than angry. Elizabeth agrees that it raises issues about inheritance. Ruth and David take a deep breath. Ruth reckons they've got everyone on board. But how long will that last, wonders David.
