BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/10/2014

Jill is concerned about Elizabeth, and Ruth and David wonder what she knows.

There's a muddle over Caroline's requirements for the Hunt Ball. Realising it's not appropriate to expect Roy to help, Caroline calls Elizabeth, who assures her everything's under control. Privately Elizabeth admits to Jill that Geraldine doesn't communicate, and that Roy's left a lot of loose ends. Jill can't understand why Elizabeth doesn't ask Roy; she's sure he'd be only too happy to help. Reluctantly Elizabeth calls Roy with a list of questions. Surprised to hear from her, he agrees to sort it all out. She's grateful, but before Roy can begin any sort of conversation, she's gone.

David's happy Jill doesn't know about Elizabeth and Roy. It's Elizabeth's mess, and if she's chosen to deal with it in private, that suits all of them. When Jill gets home she remarks that Elizabeth seems stressed, but puts it down to working with difficult Geraldine.

There's been an offer on the farm in Northumberland. They're not in a position to counter-offer, but Ruth spots another farm which might be suitable. Unhappy about all the uncertainty, she feels they need to be ready to act quickly; perhaps they should get Rodway's moving with a sales pack for Brookfield. Unsettled Jill asserts she'll have to start tidying, ready for the photos.

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