BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 26/10/2014

Elizabeth speaks from the heart, and Johnny leads Tony astray.

Johnny helps Tony with cabbages and has also been helping Ed. College is going well and Johnny's keeping a work diary. Like Tony, Johnny prefers getting his hands dirty - as did his Dad, John. Tony shows Johnny some old bits and pieces of John's, including rosettes and disco flyers. They even enjoy playing an old video game together.

Tony's keen to mark Peggy's 90th birthday properly. Pat jokes that she'd like to see Jennifer's face if Tony handles the arrangements for a change.

The infamous Justin Elliot and wife Amanda will be at the Hunt Ball, where BL are sponsoring the Horn Blowing competition.

Elizabeth admits to Shula she feels everyone's talking about her. She's not keen to talk about David and Ruth and what happens if they pack up and leave. As Shula mentions the siblings' Brookfield shares, Elizabeth gets upset at herself for having already caused so much family disruption.

David and Ruth are in Northumberland looking at a farm called Hadley Haugh. Ruth finds it ideal. Jill would be at home in the farmhouse, and they'd be in a TB-free area. They could possibly convert space for holiday lets. David admits he could picture them here. But there's a worrying phone call from Heather's neighbour which upsets Ruth.

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