BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 18/11/2022

Eddie admires a bit of ingenuity, and is Leonard caught in the middle?

Eddie’s managed to source a replacement wing mirror for the limo, though actually fixing it to the car is proving tricky. Oliver considers the diversion fiasco at the Ball aggravating, but while Eddie agrees, he can’t help feeling it was a little bit of genius too. Eddie’s pleased to see Mia’s still a helpful girl, and Oliver comments it was good to see Chelsea and Brad working at the Ball. Eddie thinks it’s great Oliver’s helping Brad. It reminds him of what he did for Ed. He believes with role models like Oliver, all their kids will steer clear of trouble.
David’s feeling pulled between his wife and his mum. He thinks Ruth and Jill should talk. Ruth protests she’s tried. She insists she’s done nothing wrong, this is on Jill. She can’t let it get swept under the carpet – Jill’s aware how much she means to Ben, and yet she still hurt him. They’re interrupted by Leonard, who’s concerned that Jill is very quiet. He wonders whether Ruth can make the first move. This is too much for Ruth and she bites back at Leonard, who retreats. David’s appalled that Leonard was made to feel bad, and in spite of herself Ruth agrees. Later she apologises to Leonard, who accepts with grace. He fetches Jill and they all sit down to a tense dinner. Jill can’t help but object to the proposed land sale, and when Ruth states it was the best option, Jill insists it’s very wrong. She knows when she’s not wanted – she’s leaving the 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.
