Gossip is spreading about Brookfield, and there is unrest among the Blithe Spirit cast.

David is surprised to learn from Alan that Jill has been feeling under the weather. She only agreed to read one of the lessons on Christmas Eve when Alan pressed the point that it was their last Christmas in Ambridge
Lynda does an interview for the Borchester Echo, to be published on Thursday. She hopes this will boost ticket sales for Blithe Spirit. Meanwhile, she misses a call from Caroline, who's pulled out of the play.
Lynda's still working on the SAVE campaign. Susan reckons it's a dead duck now. Lynda points out they may have lost the battle but the war's not over. The SAVE committee are determined to redouble their efforts, even without David. Susan is surprised to learn that Brian has resigned from the Borchester Land board because nobody told him about Justin Elliott's offer for Brookfield.
Lynda confronts David and Ruth about selling Brookfield to Justin. She is surprised that David still wishes to be part of the SAVE committee. David and Ruth hope others won't be as judgemental but they've already had a beef order cancelled - thanks to Susan spreading word of the sale.
Lynda encourages Helen in her role as Ruth in Blithe Spirit but Alice is critical of Lynda's portrayal of Mme Arcati and can't accept Lynda's dark interpretation of this light comedy.

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