BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 26/12/2019

There's upheaval for The Bull and Kenton makes a mistake.

Just as Kirsty and Philip are settling down to watch a film, they hear the Knock of Horville. Joy insists she's just come to bring some gingerbread round, but before Kirsty and Philip can stop her, she's roped them into a card game. Afterwards, Joy fills Kirsty in on the disastrous Christmas at Bridge Farm. Kirsty tells her the story of their failed engagement, and Joy counters that Kirsty probably had a lucky escape with Tom.
Angus Shrimpton arrives for his consultation about The Bull. He concludes that Kenton is scared of modernising the pub. This does nothing to help Kenton's mood. After running the bar single-handedly all day, Bella has just announced she's leaving in the New Year. He storms off to the shops to stock up on tonic, but in his haste he runs over Eccles. Alistair confirms that Eccles is dead and Kenton swears him to secrecy. No one will believe it was an accident. If anyone asks, Eccles was dead when they found him.

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