BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 19/12/2019

Tom discovers some worrying information and there’s an early Christmas present for Kirsty.

Buoyant Tom’s pleased that Bridge Fresh is doing well. He admits to Natasha he’s glad they didn’t get Peggy’s money; it would have distracted them from their main business. Later Natasha returns from making over Joy with her ear well and truly bent; Joy wouldn’t stop going on about Tony! She clearly has a massive crush. Tom’s appalled when they work out Tony was with Joy on his parents’ anniversary. Natasha defends Tony. He’d be mortified if he knew Joy might be keen on him. And Pat was fine about the anniversary, it’s no big deal. Tom insists either way something’s not right. 
Kirsty teases Philip fondly about his growing display of Christmas lights. He spots how downcast she is as she struggles with grant applications for the playground, and returns later with the news that he’s offering to do the refurbishment himself, for a reduced fee from the Parish Council. Kirsty’s delighted.
Tracy tries to sneak Roman off for lunch, but curious Susan tracks them down and muscles in on their date at the Tearoom. She gives Roman the third degree before pronouncing he’s passed muster. She can tell Tracy really likes him. Her one piece of advice to Tracy is not to mess it up this time.
