BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 09/12/2014

Susan is fighting Neil's corner, and the Grundys have a seasonal job to do.

It's time to start plucking the turkeys. Clarrie can't wait for the time she doesn't have to do this job. Will turns up to help, and Ed thanks him for letting him and Emma rent 1, The Green. Will reminds him it's only temporary, and it's mainly for George. Will says an awkward 'good luck' to Ed and Emma for their marriage.
Will learns that Justin has invited all the local farmers to a shoot, and Ed will be going. Will's not looking forward to it.
Susan tells Will there's a proper actor playing the lead in Blithe Spirit - Douglas Herrington - so it should be good. Neil learns that the sale of Willow Cottage has fallen through, and it's back on the market.
Neil's been at Bridge Farm. There's no change in Tony. Tom seems to be keeping his head down and getting on with work. Susan wonders whether things could be awkward now Tom's back. Neil reminds her that Tony promised him a permanent job. He's manager of the pig unit.
Susan and Neil suggest Ed and Emma stay at Ambridge View until after Christmas but Emma can't wait. They move into 1, The Green, delighted to have their own front door, and their own place.

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