BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/09/2015

It is time for some tea and tenacity - and a birthday treat for Joe?

The marquee goes up for the Flower and Produce show - Joe remembers Bert's efforts at sabotage in previous years. Roy and Kathy plan to hold the interviews for a new Health Club Manager at Grey Gables - suggesting that someone could be in post by the time Oliver and Caroline get back from Italy.

Joe's delighted to be invited to the party at Grey Gables - a joint going away and Birthday celebration. Oliver gives Joe a toast.

Mike has finally sold his milk round - however they haven't seen the last of Mike according to Roy - Mike's looking for work (possibly even at Berrow Farm). Oliver extends an invitation to the party, but Roy feels Vicky wouldn't be happy with Mike spending yet another night away from home, 

After some pressure from Peggy about the community and Jack's wishes, Hazel gives in and agrees not to pursue converting the shop to flats. Hazel points out that she's perfectly within her rights to do what she likes - but in this case she'll honour her dear Daddy. Peggy is extremely grateful. In victory, gracious Peggy offers Hazel one of Christine's lovely ginger biscuits.

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