The Archers - 12/10/2010

Ed reminds Vicky she'll soon need to get all her buyers lined up to take her veal. She calls several butchers but gets no firm orders. Mike offers a trip to the Bull to sample the new menu, but Vicky has one more number to try today. Ed reminds Mike that they'll soon have to move the calves on, although he doesn't mean to pressurise Vicky. Mike understands, saying she's already on to it. Vicky has good news. Her biggest client in Birmingham seems very keen. She'll see him on Friday, and she has a few other potential buyers lined up. Hayley apologises to Phoebe for nagging her - it wasn't her fault they got a letter from the school. Phoebe tells Hayley about Kate missing Nolly. Jennifer finds Kate checking to see if Nolly's online. This makes Kate late picking Phoebe up. Hayley's annoyed at the upset to her homework routine, and Kate's defensive when Hayley mentions Nolly. Kate also snaps at Jennifer, admitting that Hayley's "snide" remark got to her. It felt like a dig at her parenting skills.
