The Archers - 01/08/2008

Usha's trying an exercise in diplomacy to get her own furniture into the Vicarage bedroom. She knows it will fit; she's already measured up! Alan tells her lovingly she's going to be a handful when they're married. David and Alan chat about the proposal to switch off the streetlights after midnight, as Alan has concerned parishioners. Alan also asks David whether Ruth became an interior design enthusiast when they got married! Alan visits Will to ask about bell-ringing. Will gets the wrong end of the stick, thinking he's someone else commiserating over Emma and Ed. Alan doesn't know about this, but when he tries to talk to Will about it, he gets short shrift. Emma and Ed are delighted to have Ambridge View to themselves. Emma leaves and Ed is waiting for her return when Will appears. He is furious to find Ed. Ed needn't think he's going to look after George - that's Will's responsibility. Will says Ed's no longer his brother. He's ruined his life, and George's. He loses control, trying to strangle Ed against the wall. Ed gasps for breath, but Emma returns just in time. She drags Will off Ed and screams at him to get out. Episode written by Adrian Flynn.
