BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 12/07/2018

Jennifer comes to a painful decision, and Susan has a cunning plan.

Emma's still trying to find out if Damara lied on the planning application - it might be grounds to challenge the reduction in affordable homes. But Susan points out that powerful people seem to get what they want without needing to break the law. Anyway, Susan thinks Emma has a secret weapon. She's convinced that it'll only require Neil to have a quiet word with Justin for Emma to go to the top of the list. 
At Home Farm Jennifer bans any discussion of partnership business over lunch. Alice and Brian are both keen to sound Debbie out, but Jennifer points out that it isn't fair on the others. Instead she fills the family in on the latest fete news. Sabrina Thwaite will be fortune telling, and the family continues to be baffled by Lilian's Pets' Party Pieces preparations. Later Debbie asks Jennifer to dig out some old photo albums. They reminisce about moving into the farmhouse - it seemed so huge compared to the places they'd lived in before. Debbie apologises - she really had thought she'd come up with a solution. Jennifer's spent her life turning it into the perfect home, and Debbie can't imagine voting to sell it. But Jennifer urges her to listen to her head, not her heart.

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