BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/11/2014

Things are moving quickly at Brookfield, and everyone is looking forward to Peggy's party.

Johnny's had positive feedback from tutor Keith, but he's still not sure what Peggy makes of him. Pat remarks that Peggy should be softened by the cat calendar Johnny has got her for her birthday. Tony's pleased when Eddie agrees to do a couple of hours work for him tomorrow.

Adam and Brian discuss Peggy's party at Grey Gables - Roy seemed happier helping, definitely not at home as a receptionist. Pat and Tony are busy organising the party and Matt and Lilian have supplied plenty of drink. 

Carol has agreed to read from A Christmas Carol at Joe and Eddie's 'History of the turkey' pageants. Eddie will reward Carol with a turkey. Eddie also has an idea of how to use Jill's fancy recipes for Elizabethan bread and rabbit pie. They'll give Emma cash to cover her cookery costs, plus a bit extra. Joe poignantly tells David to bring the family - to see it before they head off up North.

The Aldridges are agreed in their plan to buy Brookfield. Brian feels they're back in the game.
Meanwhile, David agrees to set up a telephone auction, as they've had a lot of interest. They have no obligation to Brian - if he's genuinely interested, he'll have to bid against the rest.

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