BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 20/12/2015

It is a big day for Eddie, and is Susan organising a cover-up?

Eddie tries to flog his Christmas holly and mistletoe outside St Stephens. It's a big day for the Grundys, as they move back into Grange Farm - although it is only for a few months. Eddie gives Jill a tour and offers an open invitation to pop in for a mince pie and a drink.

Elizabeth's surprised to hear about Ruth staying on in New Zealand over Christmas. Jill invites Elizabeth to join Brookfield for Christmas lunch. It will be good for David to have some company - he's taking Ruth's absence hard, and Bert has gone away to be with his family.

Jean Harvey is still getting on the rest of the Calendar Girls cast's nerves with her demands. Lilian accused her of being a Prima Donna! Lynda has an emotional outburst and Susan goes to talk to Lynda to calm her down. Lynda's excited to see that the calendars have arrived. However, there's disaster as Susan seems to be showing a little more than she intended to, which just adds to Lynda's stress levels. However, Susan finds a solution and the two of them set to work covering up - with cunningly placed stickers.

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