BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 09/10/2015

The Grundy boys are on their guard, and Ruth is keeping busy.

Ruth deals with a calving and she and David discuss the funeral next week. Ruth hasn't decided yet whether she's going to speak at the funeral? Ruth's keeping busy and won' relax until she's cleared Heather's bed. David later finds Ruth upset. She has been through Heather's suitcase and found the graduation gift for Pip. Ruth bursts into tears and David encourages her to let it all out. Ruth asks him to do one thing for her - get rid of this bloody bed!

The turkeys are plumping up nicely, but Eddie fears they won't sell many. They discuss Rob, who has 'wheedled' his way into the Archer fortune according to Joe. Eddie's bribe of a rabbit didn't work. At least Fallon and Emma's business is doing ok. Eddie rues the Fairbrothers stealing their trade, after years of building up their business. Eddie thinks they can add some value to the cost of their cider by saying it comes from a conservation site.

Ed's keeping a look out for poachers for Will and spots some with guns and dogs. Will arrives a few minutes after they've gone. Ed saw them carrying something away in a grey van - they follow, to no avail. Eddie thinks they were lamping for deer. Brian's following it up with the police. Will's convinced the poachers will be back.

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