BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 10/12/2023

Lynda proves a friend indeed, and Justin makes the most of his situation.

Brian and Justin are playing golf before lunch. Brian tells Justin how he is no good at weekends and how Jennifer would have been busy preparing for Christmas by now. Brian talks about missing Jenifer and how horrified she'd be knowing he hadn't put the decorations up yet. Later Justin tells Brian how he's come to the realisation that Lilian is the most important person in his life, and he might've lost her over his inability to apologise. 

Alice and Pip are talking while making Christmas wreaths. Alice asks Pip about Stella, and Pip tells her it’s going well and might even be getting serious. Alice then tells her about Harry and that nobody knows yet, but she is worried because if it gets serious she will have to tell Chris. Pip tells her to do it soon, as she made a mess of it with Toby. Alice receives a message from Harry asking if he should book tickets for the Country Park Illuminations. Pip encourages her to say yes, telling her that they took Rosie last week and it was brilliant.

Lynda and Lilian have a heart to heart and Lilian tells her she always goes for the wrong man; she should've gone for someone like Robert; Lynda tells her she would find a man like that boring. She goes on to say that she likes her romance with a side order of stability and comfort, whereas Lilian prefers hers with surprises and thrills. Lilian gets upset and tells Lynda that she doesn’t know how they’ll come back from this.

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