Lynda looks for inspiration, and Neil is Mr Diplomacy.

Lynda has been sneakily looking up BAMDRAM (Borsetshire Amateur Dramatics Association) and printing off play scripts at work. Lynda distracts annoyed Roy with a compliment about how good it is he's staying on at Grey Gable. Kirsty starts there tomorrow and Lynda wonders whether Kirsty will do this year's show. Roy talks about how the community has come together following a disaster (the flood) - which gives Lynda sudden inspiration.

Neil breaks it to Charlie that the village hall committee won't be accepting Justin's offer of money (in return for rebranding) - it will be a community project. Volunteers will do basic work like sanding and tiling but they'll use professional builders. Perhaps Justin would still be willing to make a discreet - or even anonymous - donation? Non-committal Charlie wishes Neil all the best.

It took some persuading for busy Ruth to let Pip and David take over the disbudding of the calves. Pip and David discuss Heather. They've had lots of cards, including one from a rather subdued Helen. There's a particular day coming up which will make Pip really miss her Granny Heather. Eddie gives David a couple of rabbits and talks fondly of Heather. Pip's going to eat at Lower Loxley with Jill and mentions their Christmas Menu is being worked out - which makes Eddie think.

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