The Archers - 11/06/2009

Lilian is upset when she wakes to find Matt creeping out of the house. Matt is evasive about where he's going, but tells Lilian he'll see her later. Neil spends a frustrating day on the phone, fruitlessly searching for new customers. Clarrie asks him if she can borrow Susan's precious glass bowl for her arrangement for the WI Flower Show. In a rush to head to Yorkshire for the Ambridge Wanderers reunion, distracted Neil agrees she can borrow it if she's careful. While Eddie helps Will fix some damaged pens, Will complains that his plans for the shoot are being largely ignored by Adam. Seeking comfort at Honeysuckle Cottage, Lilian tells Adam that she's no idea where Matt is. She can't believe the excuses that he's doing business can be true. Finally, Matt calls, only to tell Lilian that he's had a prang in his car and won't be home tonight. Angry and upset, Lilian assumes he's with another woman. Both she and Adam agree: she shouldn't have to cope with this alone. Episode written by Keri Davies.
