The Archers - 02/05/2008

As Mike and Brenda are preparing for the party, they discuss an article in the Echo about the poisoned bird. Will arrives to drop the key to Brenda for 1, The Green and catches them. He deliberately asks if there is anything interesting in the paper. Whilst trying to suggest they didn't think it was Will, Mike digs himself into a big hole suggesting the contrary. Roy and Hayley bring baby Abbie home. They are thankful for all that the hospital has done but won't miss it. They return to a lovely welcome in the form of a surprise party, with Mike and Brenda and an enormous banner, reading 'Welcome Home Abbie'. Eddie goes to see Will on the Estate. He is concerned as Will is feeling hurt and angry over the speculation about the red kite. Eddie tries to reassure Will to remain positive. At his age, he has a good job that most would envy and he's a home owner. Just then, Will discovers a poisoned buzzard. He starts to panic. Eddie persuades an unconvinced Will to bury it, as ignorance is bliss. Will now suspects that someone's got an agenda and it's not over yet! Episode written by Nawal Gadalla.
