BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/12/2014

Carol and Jim go under cover, and Lynda has an exhausting rehearsal.

Carol confides in Jim that she can't bear the idea of losing Jill because of this new road. Going undercover at Justin's drinks bash, Carol immediately finds Justin intriguing and rather charming. She resolves to find out what his interests are, aside from money.

Carol and Justin find they share a mutual love of wine. Carol talks of her vineyard back in the 1970s. Justin thinks Borsetshire is a perfect location. He lets slip that he has his eyes on a place nearby and is looking to build a house to his own design.

Lynda berates Lilian for her disruptive behaviour in rehearsals. She demands that she learn all her lines by the end of the week. Following a lecture to Lilian on the clichéd views of 'frothy' Noel Coward, Lynda introduces Douglas Herrington to his 'wife'.

Lynda cycles home to find Jim and Carol at her door, desperate to report back from their mission. Jim learned from a rather drunk Borchester construction manager that there are plans to construct a distribution hub that would stretch half way to Ambridge. Jim's keen to go straight to the press, but wise Lynda says no. They should sniff around a bit more and come up with some hard evidence, before breaking the story in the New Year.

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