BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/11/2014

Johnny gets a visitor, and there are plans afoot for Peggy's party.

Johnny's course tutor, Keith, comes to meet Pat and Tony and observe Johnny on the farm. Keith's friendly and full of questions. Johnny enjoys that his mum, Sharon, actually seems proud of him and everything he's doing. Noting that Johnny has been out on a quad bike, Keith suggests a course - as Tony assures Keith that he's adhering to all health and safety rules. Having bonded with Keith, Johnny talks poignantly about his dad John, as well as his own struggles at school. 

With Emma's help, Fallon is doing an elaborate birthday cake design, which includes the village green, Bull pub and Pavilion rendered in icing. Jennifer's delighted with all her old photo discoveries - one shows Peggy's Jack digging spuds, with Peggy looking on. There's also one of 'Granny P'. Tony's working on songs for the party, including some old dance bands.
Pat wonders who'll take Brookfield on - Jennifer agrees but gives nothing away about Adam's plan. 

Jennifer gets a photo of Johnny with Pat and Tony - and with his tutor, dressed in his work gear.
As Jennifer goes, she mentions to Pat that Peggy didn't get out of her chair at all when she visited earlier.

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