The Archers - 02/10/2008

Clarrie's pleased that Ed and Emma are having Rickyard Cottage. It was being cooped up in the caravan that caused so much trouble for them before. She's anxious for Joe not to tell Will - she and Eddie need to think about how to break it to him. She's not happy when Joe offers to take George to Will's for her, but lets it go for now. Joe takes offence when his tips for Ed about his radio interview fall on deaf ears, and he stomps off. But Clarrie assures Ed that Joe will be listening. Ian's made Jill's birthday cake, in return for all thirty of Ruth's Teas and a dozen eggs. Lilian asks him if she's done anything to upset Adam. Ian tells her about Matt's underhandedness, and Lilian remarks ruefully that she tries to protect Matt, but keeps getting caught in the crossfire. Ed gives a good account of himself on Radio Borsetshire, defending Grange Farm milk and publicising the open day. Joe thinks he's a natural. Lilian's finally found an ideal carer for Jack. She can come to the Dower House tomorrow for a chat. But Jennifer's wary. How do they persuade Peggy to meet her? Episode written by Nawal Gadalla.
