BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 14/10/2015

It is a poignant day for Ruth, and Phoebe is in the driving seat.

Kate makes conversation with Phoebe about the Christmas Show - Kate wonders what it'll be and hopes for something edgy. Kate also shares the latest about her retreats - the planning application's in for the barn conversion and installation of the yurts. There's even scope for Phoebe to work in an admin role. Phoebe's distracted as Roy arrives to take her for her driving lesson.

Having told Phoebe about Joe doing the upcoming ghost walks at Lower Loxley, Roy asks Phoebe how the Oxford application's going, and discovers that Alex has been talking her out of it. Roy points out that if Alex really cares he'll support her - whatever she decides. Roy's chuffed when Phoebe later phones to tell him she has submitted her application.

Usha comforts Ruth at Heather's funeral, where Pip does a reading which is by a Major killed in WW2. Usha talks warmly of Heather and the service - reminding Ruth that the difficult last year was only a small part of Heather's rich life. Pip and Ruth also share memories. But Ruth tells Usha she feels she let Heather down when Heather needed her most.

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