The Archers - 08/07/2010

Matt presents Lilian with her favourite smellies for her birthday. He's determined to treat Lilian to something more special when he's back on serious money. Lilian's keen to go for a nice lunch, but Matt has lined up a viewing of a property in Hollerton. Lilian's disappointed at his timing, but partly because she was hoping to subtly check up on Jolene while they were out. As they view the property, Matt admits that Brian's getting to him and he's taking it personally. Matt's keen to snap up this place, to teach Brian a lesson, but Lilian's not sure about it. She vaguely remembers reading something about the property, so Matt reluctantly agrees to let Lilian look into it. Jolene is really struggling behind the bar at the Bull. Fallon asks Lilian to come back to work part time. Then hopefully Jolene will be persuaded to take a rest and leave the pub in capable hands. Ruth's glad to know that Pip's ok at Elizabeth's, but she really wants her home. Pip's gone back to work at the Orangery. At least it'll keep her occupied. David and Ruth agree not to push things. Eventually Ruth gets a text from Pip. She'll be home tomorrow.
