The Archers - 05/03/2008

Nic struggles to look after Mia, Jake and George when Will is called out unexpectedly to the shoot. She bumps into Helen at the village shop and tells her about her first driving lesson that evening. Helen says she'll call round to Nic's for a drink after the lesson. When she goes, George starts playing up and stressed Nic bundles him roughly into his buggy just as Ed arrives. When he asks what's going on, Nic says they're fine and heads off. Later he worries to Jazzer about the way Nic was treating George. Even though Jazzer tells him not to worry, Ed thinks something's not quite right. In the absence of Adam, irritated Brian asks Jazzer to help put up the lambing pens. Things are tense later, when resentful Brian is doing the jobs he thinks Adam couldn't be bothered to do - but Jennifer reminds him Adam's busy too. Brian protests when she then asks him to look after Ruairi. She's got some work she wants to do on the village website. When she says she's taking Peggy shopping tomorrow morning, he's even more irritated - he can't be expected to do everything. Ignoring him, Jennifer excuses herself and Brian's left feeling flummoxed. Episode written by Tim Stimpson.
