BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 27/10/2019

The Grundys are on a mission and Freddie attempts to dig for information.

Freddie and Shula agree that last night’s Hunt Ball went well; Elizabeth had commented that with the return of the alcohol licence, it was like passing a test. Freddie offers to proof read Shula’s autobiography for the DDO, but Shula clocks what he’s up to and refuses. She’d really rather he didn’t read it; it’s very dull and she’s decided she’s not a born writer. She agrees to him having some friends over on Bonfire Night, with an assurance that he’ll obey the house rules; no fireworks.
Alf admires the turkey poults. Eddie disappoints him; he won’t be getting a special rate. Alf’s keen to pursue the letter from Carmen that they found amongst Joe’s things. Eddie’s all for leaving it alone, so Alf tries his luck with Clarrie. Whilst Clarrie’s incredulous Joe had managed to keep such a secret, she too is dismissive of Alf’s nonsense. As a last hurrah, Alf tries to tempt the two of them with the prospect of a pot of gold. Wouldn’t they grab it if they suddenly had the chance to get Grange Farm back instead of having to vacate? They surely owe it to Joe’s memory to find out? Grudgingly Eddie agrees to help.

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