The Archers - 10/05/2009

Joe manages to get a look at one of Jennifer's old maps and reckons he's worked out where to find rich pickings. It must be Grange Farm. Eddie's reluctant to go poking around when anything they find will have to be shared with Oliver Sterling. But Joe's got it covered. The Sterlings are going on holiday so he and Eddie can have a quick look while they're away and they'll never know. Brian wants to ask Debbie over to speak to the board. Finances are over-extended and he wants her to get them to focus on the core business of management of the estate rather than get-rich-quick schemes. Jennifer's delighted; it'll be so nice to see Debbie. She's even more thrilled when she learns Marshall's coming too. At last, something to look forward to! Tense Matt isn't happy as Lilian's on the phone to Veronica, a friend of Chalkman's wife Mererid. He thinks Veronica's an airhead and a waste of time as an information source on Chalkman. He loses his temper with Lilian. She should let it drop. He goes out, only to return much later still on edge. He just wants Lilian to give him some space and leave him be.
