The Archers - 05/04/2009

Jill laments the news that this year's Royal Show will be the last. She goes on to talk to Ruth about David's idea of a reunion of old NFU friends for Phil's birthday, but she wants to vet the list of names first. Phil made many friends, but he made some enemies too! They decide to make up a list of invitees. Ruth helps Jill with the beehives. One of the colonies is so weak it will have to be combined with one of the stronger hives. Jill thinks the NFU reunion's a good idea but she'd better vet the list of names first - Phil made a lot of friends, but he made some enemies too! Helen and Annette go skating at Felpersham and reminisce about the time they went with Greg - he'd been so happy that day. Back at the flat they look through old photographs. Helen enquires about Annette's plans, suggesting it might be a good idea for Annette to stay at her grandmother's whilst she looks for a job. Annette seems reluctant to ring her Gran. Later Annette tells Helen that her Gran's got things on, so she can't accommodate Annette until the end of the week. Helen says she's welcome to stay with her until then - it'll be nice for them to spend some time together. Episode written by Mary Cutler.
