The Archers - 06/05/2009

Tom's packing up for the move from Home Farm. Brian stops by to wish him luck for the future. Over at Bridge Farm, Eddie arrives to try out his metal detector. Eddie tells Tom that work's thin on the ground. He's got nothing lined up after he's finished the patio at the Vicarage. Tom suggests asking Alan to mention his handiwork in his sermon. It would be cheaper than putting an ad in the parish magazine! Eddie asks after Helen, reminding Tom that tomorrow is the anniversary of Greg's death. Tom says he'll contact her. At least she's got Annette this year. They'll be able to remember Greg together. It's the BL meeting and the attachment regarding the nominee for the new chairman seems to be missing from Matt's e-mail. He's not pleased to hear that Brian's been proposed and accuses the board of a stitch-up. There are no other nominees so Brian is elected and proceeds to chair the rest of the meeting. Matt feels betrayed by Brian, where's his family loyalty? Brian reasons that Matt's trouble trumps any family connections and there's really no more to say on the matter.
