The Archers - 07/04/2009

Tom and Brian discuss a handover date for moving the pigs over to Bridge Farm. Tom thinks it shouldn't take longer than a month. They agree not to fight old battles. All's well that ends well, thanks to Peggy. Council officials are inspecting the site for the wetland system at Bridge Farm. Tony wonders why Helen's brought Annette with her. He's suspicious of Annette's plans - how long does she intend to stay in Ambridge? Annette picks up on Tony's coolness towards her but Helen assures her that he's probably just tense about the meeting. Helen's cross with Tony for making Annette feel unwelcome - it's none of his business how long Annette chooses to stay with her. Matt's worried about Lilian going out riding on her own. There are some dodgy characters about. Whilst out, a motorbike speeds past her three times. Matt's concerned. It could have spooked the horse, causing it to throw her. He asks Lilian if she managed to get a look at the driver or the bike's number plate, but she didn't get the chance given the speed he was doing. Matt tells Lilian she needs to be more careful in the future. Episode written by Mary Cutler.
