BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 09/09/2015

Ruth feels out of the loop, and Carol has a blooming good idea.

Jill, Carol and Bert look forward to the Flower and Produce show. Carol suggests a new category - wild flower arranging. Jill talks of Autumn and new beginnings - and worries that she has upset Bert. Carol notices that Jill has gone quiet. Jill admits it's those blessed Fairbrother boys - and the reminder of Grace and Jill and Phil's time at Hollowtree. Jill feels a stupid old woman. 

Pip and David deliver a calf together and share a joke about Adam and Brian (the 'dinosaur'). David's surprised to see Ruth. Home from Prudhoe, Ruth becomes tearful, as David hadn't responded to her messages (flat phone battery) or seen her car in the yard. They're worried, but Ruth says she's just happy to be home - Prudhoe and Heather are clearly taking their toll. Ruth updates Jill - there are so many memories at her mum's house and the clearance is a slow business. Ruth really appreciates what Jill is doing for them in moving out. Discussing the loan for Kenton and Jolene, Ruth's surprised to find out that she and David are offering the lion's share. Confronting David over this, and also the new cow tracks - and Pip's stubble turnips and Welsh sheep, Ruth feels her opinions at Brookfield count for nothing.

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