The Archers - 05/06/2008

Elizabeth's spoken to Phil, who's worried about his washing. Eric, a qualified teacher of dry stone walling, reckons the ha-ha work could be done by trainees in August, and if it's a community project they'll get a grant. Building around the sett solves the badger dilemma.. Nigel and Elizabeth interview for Kathy's replacement. Lorna, who's already covering the job, is the best candidate. Alice helps Adam with the Dinosaur Maze. Adam suggests she and Lajos go in for the single wicket competition, pointing out he'd need an intensive training course. Alice likes the idea! Ruairi's told Alice about his trip to Ireland. Brian's concerned Ruairi doesn't really understand why he's going and realises how difficult this is for Jennifer. He hopes a day at Ascot will put things right. Jennifer likes the idea but, in front of Adam, she proposes a proper family holiday - and Adam confirms he's ok with harvest. Alice wants them to sign Clarrie's petition. Adam's all for it but Brian hold back. Alice insists this is his opportunity to admit he screwed up. Jennifer still doesn't want the development to go ahead but she's with Brian on this and feels it's best to stay out of the argument. Episode written by Caroline Harrington.
