BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 04/01/2016

There is much praise for Brian, and Eddie has big ideas.

Distracted by Phoebe's application to Oxford, Jennifer seems to have forgotten that Brian was telling her all about the new dairy plans at Brookfield - David has asked Brian to keep these to himself anyway. The charming Justin Elliot visits and is full of compliments towards Jennifer. Justin picks Brian's brains over the future of Berrow Farm and reveals that he wants it to go into arable and to give Adam/ Home Farm the contract. Jennifer's delighted. Justin encourages a surprised Charlie to enjoy Perthshire - to get out into the community, and perhaps even have a bit of fun there.

Eddie's living it up at Grange Farm, impressed by the furniture and fittings. Clarrie's anxious about the upkeep of all the state of the art appliances - she can't shake off the feeling that a 'palace' like this isn't meant for the likes of them. Clarrie also wonders how on earth they're going to afford pigs for Eddie's latest farming idea at Grange Farm.

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