The Archers - 08/05/2009

Brian's struggling with the Borchester Land accounts. Matt's clearly not been keeping his eye on the ball. Will tells Brian about his plans for expanding the shoot. He's keen for the BL members to see it for themselves so they can appreciate the benefits. Brian thinks it's a great idea; it'll be good for them to get mud on their boots. Mike tells Susan he's taking Vicky out for an expensive meal at a posh restaurant. Susan advises him to dress up. Mike wants to wear the tie Phoebe gave him but Susan suggests it might be a bit 'busy'. Later, she goes over to Willow Farm with a selection of Neil's ties to choose from and encourages Mike to go with the pink one! Lilian's not answering the phone so Jennifer goes round. She tries to make Lilian see that Brian tried to protect Matt. Lilian doesn't think he made a very good job of it. Matt breaks up the argument; he thinks it best if Jennifer leaves. Matt tells Lilian she's wasting her breath. He doesn't care about BL, it's what Chalkman's told the SFO that's worrying him. Upset Lilian storms out. Whatever she says seems to be wrong.
