The Archers - 15/04/2009

Nigel tells Emma they're really pleased to have her back working at Lower Loxley. Emma's pleased to be back too. She likes being busy but isn't sure she'll be as ambitious as before she had George. Nigel calls at Jaxx. Kenton's feeling sorry for himself, having lost Emma. Nigel rubs it in but points out that he knows Kenton's already found a replacement waitress - Naomi. Ed's off to meet Oliver and Malcolm, the land agent from the Tenant Farmers Association, to discuss Ed's business plan for Grange Farm. He and Emma agree the future's looking good - and it's thanks to Joe for giving Ed a loan. Ed wants Mike to know what's going on before Mike sees the agent poking around. Mike's delighted to learn that Oliver's offered Ed the tenancy, and that Ed wants his working arrangement to stay the same. Mike thinks it's great that a Grundy will once more be running Grange Farm. The meeting with Malcolm goes well. Ed tells Emma this is going to change their lives. Oliver's given them a future they can build on. He just hopes Malcolm gives it the thumbs up so they can go ahead. Episode written by Nawal Gadalla.
