BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 04/12/2015

Let there be Christmas light! Charlie could use some advice.

Matthew the new contract milker settles in at Brookfield - he has done a few milkings now and seems to need no hand-holding. In fact, David's keen to see whether Matthew might pass on any handy hints. Pip invites Matthew for a drink at the Bull for its reopening. The Christmas lights are switched on and Kenton surprises everyone by turning up on a sleigh, with reindeer, and reminding people to book for Christmas at the Bull! Kenton admits he owes Jolene everything for putting up with him over the last year - he vows to give her the best 2016. He also suggests a joint stag do at the Bull for Ian and Adam. Toby is handing out flyers and Adam reminds Toby of his interest in soil - offering to fill Toby in and give him lots of literature he brought back from his farm visit.

Charlie tells Adam that he has been offered a redeployment. Adam's stunned when he learns it's in Perthshire. Charlie asks whether he should go - or perhaps try to find a job somewhere closer to home. Adam admits he doesn't know what to say.

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