The Archers - 13/01/2010

There's a good turn out for the meeting, and Susan's thrilled by Lynda's support, especially when she learns she'll be offered a place on the committee without having to be voted in. Pat's surprised that Brian wants to be on the committee but in the end the final composition of the committee is agreed: Pat as chair, Kathy as secretary, Usha as legal advisor, Susan as retail expert and postmistress, Lynda as parish council member and fundraiser, David also representing the council, Richard as treasurer, and Oliver and Brian as business advisors. Pat's convinced that Brian's got his own motives, and hopes he's not going to make trouble. Lynda's sure that once they get down to work they'll all get along fine. Helen confides in Brenda about Annette's pregnancy. Brenda understands Annette's decision to have an abortion, even when Helen explains how strongly she feels about it, and how she could support them both. Brenda's surprised that Helen would want to take on such a huge commitment. She reminds her that it's still up to Annette, but Helen passionately feels this could be a really positive thing in her life, and she's got to make Annette see that too, before it's too late.
